Recent Harvests

Few SunGold Cherry Tomatoes, Eggplants and Baby Carrots. I dumped all the remaining 2 year old carrots seeds into a pot and most of them germinated, crowding the pot and many didn't get enough room to grow. But its fun to see what these teeny tiny seeds can grow into.

Whats growing??

Preserving Tomatoes

I do some vegetable gardening but I don't grow a lot that I need to preserve it, but today while visiting Wilson Farm for grocery, I saw that they had locally grown tomatoes on SALE, so got them and dehydrated a bit in oven and made paste out of them for freezing. I also had to freeze some whole tomatoes for future use.

Plants went in ground little early

With unusually warmer weather, I planned on putting some seedlings in the bed. I did transplanted some tomatoes, hot peppers and eggplants on May 2nd. Tomatoes and peppers in the blue pots are doing ok, except that the 2nd row in the bed, some pepper and eggplant transplants disappeared. I am not sure what happened to them, if any sparrows plucked them ?(we have been seeing some sparrows searching for food in the bed) or they are gone with the winds we had.

Today the night temperatures are going almost before freezing. I am keeping my fingers crossed for tomatoes, but the blue pots came indoors. I still kept each of the transplants aside to plant them after the official frost date

Basking in the Sunshine...Seedling Update - May 1st

Emma F2 Sungold(Cherry Tomato)

The seedlings are enjoying some sunshine and in the process of hardening. Weather for the weekend is wonderful and this would be an opportunity for them to get some outdoor light and air. All the seedlings except for marigolds and petunias are growing under shop light. Not sure how many I could fit in the only bed I have but will try to find some home if they are healthy and happy.
