Sprouting Garden

We caught up a bit more on the garden work this weekend. As Sharon mentioned earlier, we transplanted the peppers and tomatoes to Mel’s (mix) garden. They’re holding up much better and showing some life. The squash and beans are going strong as well as the cucumber, parsley, cilantro, and basil. We started one other tomato in a pot.

Grapes are looking good. We may have an early harvest.

We thought we’d give a try at swiss chard and okra with the space left over in the west garden after the transplant. I don’t particularly like either of those but they are in planting season.

The melon patch is a bit slow. We have one cantaloupe sprouting and a watermelon seed is germinating.

My hops are starting to take off. I strung up a 14′ trellis since the Nugget really needed the rope to start its accent.

The Cascade broke the surface earlier this week. This variety tends to lag behind a bit of others but its very vigorous in comparison.

I got one more variety – a Willamette – last week and will plant it in front of the house soon.
