TINY GREEN TOMATOES & OTHER PRETTIES

~ ~ ~

Behold...our endless salad bowl....aka....$500 lettuce.  But it's delicious and for you?  Free!

Mr. Incredible has built a long, giant tomato cage out of redwood this weekend.

I have spied some tiny baby tomatoes!

Cute, isn't it?

Second Week of June

Four of our peanut plants have sprouted so far....this is one of them.  They come up with several branches already on them!  Awesomeness.

The peas are climbing well up the string trellis...but no blooms yet.

Spaghetti squash in container.

Butter Boy Squash

The broccoli is thriving but no heads...yet.

Another peanut plant.

Bush beans are getting bigger!

Summer squash keep blooming!

The peppers are being resurrected....I thought they were dead!  New life keeps growing off the dead looking stems....so yay for new life!

We may harvest some peppers yet!

Another pepper plant with new growth.

Lettuce growing back already from where I cut some off a few days ago.  It doesn't take long for it to regrow!

The clematis is just for show--but looks delicious...ain't so?

EARLY JUNE 2010

I found this large pot at Ross Dress for Less for $15.  I was going to plant flowers in it but decided to use it for grape tomatoes.  

The peppers didn't do so well with transplating, but they are starting to get leaves on the "dead" stems!  Who knew?

The bush beans have sprouted and are doing well.

Spinach and lettuces. 

A few of the sunflower seeds have finally sprouted!

Beet greens. 

Surprisingly, we still have a few tulips in the front yard at the beginning of June.

The clematis has reached the top of the porch and is spilling up and crawling up the railing, as we hoped.

He created this awesome trellis.

Squash blosom.

This is the new tomato bed Mr. Incredible made.  We've planted Beef Steak, Roma, and Razzleberry tomatoes here.

I was sad that only one of my alliums returned this year!

Clematis is blooming.

Moss Rose...my favorite flower for pots in Utah. 

It is very drought tolerant.

Our first harvest of the garden--fresh spinach.  :-)
