Update

Some peppers have blossomed!

Pulled some baby carrots.. I'll eat them tonight.

Weeded a bit and turned in the spinach plot.

I think the beets are overcrowded, hence no roots. Silly me.

Some more veggies!

My fridge is full of Little Gem, radishes, and snap peas... seriously full of peas. Here are some more updates from the garden...


I couldn't get a great shot, but the carrot foliage is quite large now. I dug a bit and found that the roots are beginning to plump (and orange, yay).










Contrary to my post last time I harvested Little Gem... now the rest are maturing very quickly... I pulled about five heads yesterday. However, given the likelihood of hot weather soon, that's now a good thing.









Next year = Pea fence. No exceptions. Peas are doing awesome. A couple of more big time harvests and they're done for the season.










Pepper plants are showing the starts of tiny blossoms, I think. I'll keep an eye out. And it is embarrassingly clear from this photo that I need to do some weeding. Oy.







This eggplant is about ten inches. Once the peas are gone it'll have a little more room to grow. I'm happily surprised that the peas haven't really tried to choke it off.









Cukes? I think? The squash/cuke/whatever-it-is plant that got magically (birds?) moved to the back of the garden is in similar condition.






Tomato blossoms are pretty! I pruned like crazy yesterday. Gotta stake these buggers and pray for lots and lots of delicious fruit.








Beets aren't really plumping yet, but the greens look great.

Fruits (Vegetables?) of my labor

I had already harvested PLENTY of radishes... actually made some radish top soup last week...and some of the earlier ones were gorgeous!

A few more are left to plump up a bit, then I think my spring radish season is over.



First two heads of Little Gem!! We'll make a nice salad tonight. Fortunately, even though I planted everything at the same time, the others aren't maturing at the same rate.

Glad it's something that Dad and Brother like to eat :)




And my first substantial harvest of snaps... I have a nice handful waiting to be eaten, stir-fried, what-have you. The first couple I picked last week were quite good. Next year I'll fence my peas.. they grow like crazy!





Have some blossoms on the tomatoes, and at least one of the eggplants is getting much larger and healthier! Looks like I won't lose them after all.

Peas

Peas are almost ready to harvest!

I had forgotten what kind I planted, but apparently they are dwarf sugar snap. Yay.

Update

Radishes - Harvested and ate quite a few so far! Yummy. The advice to pick them before they're over an inch... definitely true. Only one got bigger, and it was just starting to get a little woody. Haven't tried cooking any yet. Maybe I will with the next batch.

Beets - Coming along.

Carrots - Ditto, thinned naturally by radishes.

Lettuce - Expect to harvest soon! Little gems are coming right along.

Spinach - I'm kind of over the spinach. I didn't thin well in the beginning and now it's even more difficult to thin them out. Some have yellowed.

Peas - FLOWERING!! yay!! Pea blossoms are quite pretty.

Peppers/Eggplants - Just hanging out. Some slight progress after warm days. Next season I'll set them out later.

Tomatoes - Growing well! I think I'll need to prune a bit soon.

Squash/Cukes - Had to pull the originals.. no root progress, kind of strange. Planted some remaining seeds. Two seedlings so far. One in original hill, one way displaced to edge of garden. Birds maybe?
