Tomatoes, Tomatillos and Peppers OH MY!

We've had some very unusual 80 degree weather and that makes me even more anxious to get in the garden. On Saturday we planted potatoes, onions, lettuce, spinach, radishes and carrots. Here in the picture you'll see my tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos growing nice and strong, too early for them to go outside though.

Harvest Time

Russian heirloom tomatoes








heirloom zucchini









dill









heirloom cantaloupe
cabbage
jalapeno's
and my supper....
mustard greens, cukes, red potatoes, onions and little fingers carrots.

I am so tickled with my carrots, I tried something new by growing them in a pot! After visiting the urban homestead website, a family in Pasadena CA raising a garden on a tenth of an acre using raised beads and pots and having great success I thought I would give it a try and what do ya know, it works! I've never had much luck growing carrots in my garden so from now on they will be pot bound. Organic gardening is lots more work but well worth it.
