MAY GARDEN TOUR

We've moved most of our plants that we grew from seed outside. Some seeds we have just planted...like those in the containers below...

Spaghetti squash was planted in this large container. The smaller containers should soon be sprouting basil, oregano, and squash.
This is our row of tomatoes between the fence and the basketball court--Porterhouse Beefsteak, Roma, and Cherry. We grew these from seed and they are surviving the transplating quite well. Phew.

The canteloupe were not so lucky. These are the NEW canteloupe I purchased because my seedlings didn't survive the transplanting.
This is new watermelon as well. A few of my watermelon seedlings starts might survive.

Baby carrot tops! We planted purple carrots and sugar snax variety.

Beets!

Gourmet lettuces

Peas! We need to get a trellis up for these SOON. They are starting to grow tendrils.

This is the pea container...peas only please...we started more from seed on the blank half, but they haven't sprouted yet. This way we can have a staggered harvest.

This is a view of the rows of lettuce and spinach.

We planted peanuts in the middle container....and bush beans. The left container has the watermelon, canteloupe, squash, pumpkin, and cucumber. The vines will hang down the sides of the containers. The container on the far right is peppers of all varieties. They aren't doing so well so I haven't pictured our pepper shame! We might have go buy some peppers at the nursery if ours don't perk up soon.

Another view of the lettuce, spinach, and peas.

The entire garden, (except for two areas not shown where we have strawberries, green onions, and broccoli. Note the Topsy Turvy's hanging from the basketball hoop. Now you know what nerds do when they have a basketball court in their back yard. ;-)

Along the fence on the far side, is a small strip of land that I have pegged for six varieties of sunflowers.

There are exciting things to come!
