New Plantings in Unit 2

Things are growing nicely. 2 Units are up and running. I have 2 new tomato plants to put in this week. We had some chilly nights, close to frost. I put a homer bucket over it at night and it was fine.

Finally got our back gutter fixed after the ice storms this winter. So our rain barrel is back online.

Unit 2 with a tomato, bush beans, spinach, carrots, beets and some random herbs.

Unit 1 with garlic, red onions, lettuce, peas, broc and carrots. we've cut this lettuce twice already. It's loving the nice cool and wet weather.

Another shot of unit 1.

May Days

Things are blooming nicely. Peas are coming with force. We've already harvested a few bowls of spring mix lettuce. We planted beets, bush beans, some more carrots and one lonely tomato plant I got at Beechwood Farms.

All these pics were taken May 1.

I've never planted peas. I'm fascinated by how they climb the trellis.
