Here come the potatoes. This row of potatoes are Yukon Gold, and are an early variety.
Three tomato plants this year. From Left to Right: Sweet 100's, Beefsteak, Early Girl. The bare bed in back has corn planted. At the time of this picture the sprouts were not yet up, however, as of yesterday (May 27) they were up in all six rows. I had to cover these with brown paper bags last night due to frost.
At the top of the picture is the first sowing of Encore Lettuce Mix. Immediately in front and behind this patch are carrots. Toward the front of the picture is the second sowing of Encore Lettuce Mix. Again there are carrots planted next to this lettuce bed as well.
To the left is the first sowing of Tropicana Lettuce. This bed of lettuce was nearly destroyed with our fence repair. The little seedlings were entirely covered by dirt because a worker was walking on this bed. I carefully removed the clumps of dirt and was able to salvage a good number of seedlings, which are now growing into leafy lettuce. On the right is the second sowing of Tropicana. In front and in between the beds is Swiss Chard-Bright Lights Variety. These plants will have a greenish leaf, but the spines will be bright purple, yellow, and red. This should give a brilliant color to this area of the garden.
You can easily tell which was the first and second sowing of Sugar Snap Peas-Sugar Ann variety.
Close up of the first sowing. You can see the
tendrills reaching out for support.
Same bed of peas as above. The Jericho Lettuce has emerged but is slow to grow. I'm sure the cold weather has much to do with that.
