Spring Garden

We are not quite out of the wood's yet as far as chance of frost go's, but this is what I have going on in my garden beds for spring gardening.... and my tomato's are doing well.

I planted them on March 15, and now they look like photo to the left. I am hardening them off right now. I purchased some "Wall-O-Water's", wich claim you can use to protect your tomato's, peppers, and eggplant's up to one month before your last date of frost, so I am looking forward to planting nine of them in my beds on Sunday.



This picture is of something I have never tried until going to the nursery a few weeks ago. It is mustard greens.

The nice lady at the nursery had me taste a little piece of it while shopping and it had a nice tang to it that I really enjoyed and thought would be a nice compliment to my salads.


Some lettuce's that I planted in fron't of all three of my beds.

Romaine, bibb, and the mustard. Also I am trying something new this year.

The purple looking plants in the fron't corners are red cabbage.





Here is a closer look. I noticed today that the purple hue of these plants seemed to look deeper in color today.

"Please excuse the weeds!", I have been too lazy, and busy to mow my lawn, or do a whole lot of weeding as of yet.

Here is a photo of the tomato seeds that I planted. A mix of heirlooms.

I planted one heirloom tomato plant last year and decided I wanted to try all of them this year!

So the list of tomato plants are;

Omars Lebanese, Dutchman, Golden Sunburst, Black Russian, Aunt Ruby's German Green, and Djena Lee's Golden Girl.

I also planted two other tomato plants....."Mortgage Lifter", a big beefsteak, and Black Krim, a dark purplish brown tomato with a rich flavor.

Can't wait to plant my tomato's!
