I had no idea vegetables could grow so quickly! Every time I go outside I am astounded by another growth spurt. The last two weeks I sowed many a seed and transplanted the rest of my indoor grown starts.
MAY 20
Transplanted into garden:
Tomatoes - Still need to decide on staking or caging... maybe some of both.
Peppers - Cubanelle, Hungarian hot wax, Hot Thai, and Mini Yellow bell. One of each into garden, still have a back-up of each inside in 4" pots.
Japanese Eggplant - May have started indoors too late, but planted into corner of the garden anyway, will try growing on trellis. Who knows.
Lemon Cucumber - from winter sown container. None of the babylon sprouted, so I sowed some seeds around the lemon cucumber. They are all probably too close together, so I may cut out a few once they are stronger. Again, will try to train to a trellis.
Pole Beans, Blue Lake - from winter sown and added more seeds as only had three sprouts.
MAY 21
Direct sowed more seeds:
Carrots - Cool purple ones. Garden soil is pretty rocky, so they may be small and deformed. I hope to plant a shorter variety into a container with better soil.
Spinach
Pak Choi
Buttercrunch lettuce
Cabbage
Amaranth - One last ditch attempt at direct sowing these guys. The winter sown and indoor sown that have survived are finally putting out decent sized true leaves. There may still be hope.
The Salad Area - Marigolds just added to hopefully deter pests
Bibb Lettuce
Buttercrunch Lettuce
Pak Choi - Harvested the first batch of leaves this week! Used raw as salad and it was okay, but not great. The leaves were a bit old as the plants were slow to grow indoors and then outside in the cold. I am hoping the next batch will be a little sweeter now that the weather is warming up. I plan on trying lightly steamed or stir fried.
