Got the tomatoes in on Thursday. The garden is starting to look pretty full, but there's still room for the cucumbers and squash. Unfortunately, the Israeli squash seeds I bought this year didn't germinate very well. I only have one plant! Cucumbers and peppers are still small and still inside.
A couple of years ago, I started working on the 5'x5' planter near the kitchen door. The idea is to make a permanent herb garden. This year I got it filled with earth (easier to work with than the foot and half down it used to be. And today we went to the farmers market. We now have:
1. Bay (will it survive the winter?)
2. Rosemary
3. St. Johns' Wart (looked interesting)
4. Oregano
5. Thyme
6. Basil, of course
7. Chives, planted in a clay pot so they won't spread.
A couple of weeks ago I planted some dill and parsley seed, and I saw seedlings today!
It looks like it might make sense to plant a bush of some kind in the back. I'm not sure what would not be too big, but would create a nice background for the herbs. Maybe lavender?
And I planted two more tomato plants in a corner of the garden I might not have used. If all goes well this year, we should have a lot of tomatoes.
