Summer Vegetables

Full Bloom

All the tulips are in bloom. Unfortunately, my vegetables are struggling (especially the peas and spinach).

Early Spring

It looks like the first color of the year is in bloom. I can't wait for the tulips and hyacinth. Anyway, I went to a plant sale and bought and planted some spinach starts. In the coming weeks I'm looking to add onions and shelling peas. The weather has been particularly wet.

Putting the Garden to Bed

Well, it was a good growing season, but it's beginning to wind down. Nights are cooler and the rainy weather has returned. I've chopped up the last of the beans and corn, and covered most of the plot up with burlap (free from the Magonlia Nursery). Most fall crop of peas has been a success. This is the first time I have ever been able to grow fall edibles. So, I get to harvest a modest crop of peas. Also, my cyclamen cilicium is blooming.

A Warm August

As High as an Elephant's Eye

Yup, the corn is coming along. And, I have two groups of pole beans planted. The first crop has sent out vines.

End of May

Everything is growing like crazy. It's almost time to begin harvesting the peas. Also, I planted the first crop of corn (under the remay).
