We have never before had so much green happening in our yard at this time of year! I think part of the reason is our exceptionally warm winter and spring and part of it is all the seed starting we did this spring under our grow lights. It is very exciting to me to see so much promise in our front and back yards during the second week of May! Amazing! Here’s a peek at some of what’s happening on our little plot…
 |
| Snap peas and broad beans |
 |
| Broccoli |
 |
| Echinacea, chamomile & bunching onions |
 |
| Strawberries |
 |
| Rhubarb |
 |
Newly transplanted tomatoes.
Two Romas with a Black from Tula in the middle.
This bed isn’t done being planted out yet 🙂 |
 |
Our 4X6 raised bed in transition.
Over wintered carrots, card and garlic….turnips and radishes
going to seed and newly planted peas and sweet corn. |
 |
Our 4X5 bed, in transition.
Overwintered carrots…beets and kale going to seed and
newly transplanted tomatoes (2 Yellow Taxi, 1 Bi-Color
Cherry and 1 Roma) |
 |
| Itty bitty sweet corn |
 |
| Pears |
 |
| Apples |
 |
| Cherries |
 |
| Apricots |
 |
| Potatoes |
 |
Purple eggplant 🙂
This is my first real attempt at growing eggplant
and I’m trying them in containers. |
 |
| Happy Hot Peppers…ready to go in a bed 🙂 |
 |
| Honeysuckle |
 |
Tomato blossoms…I think these are a small sweet cherry tomato…
but I mislabeled it as a bell pepper when I up-potted it at one point,
so right now it’s just a Mystery Tomato 😉 Silly me! |
 |
| Tomatillo flower |
 |
| Our newest beets! |
 |
Asparagus! Even though we can’t eat any, we’re
still super excited to see them poking their little heads up! |
 |
| Lemon Balm |
 |
| Lettuce Leaf Basil |
 |
| Sage |
 |

I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful day and that your garden is full of promise!

It’s amazing how much you’re growing, it really shows what you can grow when you really try!
Thank you! And welcome!!! It’s been quite a learning curve but I’m pretty happy with all the green in the yard this year 🙂
BG – you have so much growing! wow! You are going to have incredible harvests this year! Cheers, Jenni
Jenni, I sure hope so! If I can keep it all mulched and watered enough I think it will be a wonderful harvest year 🙂
I think you’ll enjoy having eggplants. I think the plants are beautiful.
I love the purple pear. What variety is it?
And lemon balm… mmm. Yummy tea.
I’m really excited about the eggplants! I hope they do wonderfully 🙂
The pears on that branch are Red Bartlett. I really hope we actually get a real fruit harvest from our trees this year!
And lemon balm…YES! This is our first year growing this, too! I can’t wait for tea 🙂
It all looks fabulous – looking forward to seeing the harvest picks.
Thanks, Liz! Me too 😉
