Harvest Monday - May 12 2014

The very first alpine strawberry!






I am growing alpines "Golden Alexandria" the first year, I got 25 plants last month, most of them with flowers.



In general - we are starting to eat greens regularly, I mean every day. It is not much yet, leaf here, leaf there, but still counts.

I got 2 first radishes today, and they are so small! I do not have luck growing them, they always bolted.

 An there are some more pictures from May's garden.

I built new trellis for Italian tomatoes last weekend. My beds are on the slope and at the end of the summer my bamboo trellises are usually folding down.

 So I made "something" stronger and taller. Tomatoes here are Roma, Viva Italia and some of the Striped cavern.

 I like how my kale bed is looks like, I sprinkled some of the iron bites this spring to get rig of snails that always make me crazy.

 My oversized tomatoes is doing so-so,
lower leaves are yellow, top leave are good, green and strong.

 Yesterday my mom called me and asked - where is your cuces? and really&
I have only 8 plants.

 Cuces are on the left, borago are on the rights.
So I planted more, CHinahlong, Palace King, Suyo and Spacemaster.

Blueberries are blooming.

 Peppers too! Can you see the little bud? I planted them out last week on the black fabric.





















Strawberries are good, blooming.

 My garden looks more like vertical now.

 I am not happy with my beets, they germinated poorly, I believe I will overseed them this week. I have some in left container here.
