I don’t even have blossoms on tomatoes yet. “sigh” I do have some bell peppers and fooled you jalepeno’s growing well though.

Still have a few leaves of Romaine left for sandwiches. Garlic is doing well should be ready mid june for harvest. I have 1 yes 1 carrot left from last fall’s planting, grown over the winter so that they are mature early spring.

Have you ever tried growing black seed leaf lettuce? I grow that year round. I plant just enough every few weeks so when one patch is grown, the next is ready for harvest.

If you can get to your library, or to your grocery store, and look up this month’s Better Homes and Grdens, they have some neat planting ideas that look like they’d challenge you. I read this at the hair cutter’s yesterday.

There was an article about planting vertically. One of the ideas was to take half a pallet (the wood kind often available for free outside the loading docks of manufaturing plants). You line it with landscape cloth and fill it with potting mix. Then you plant different kinds of lettuce and herbs in the slots and hang it on the wall. Very pretty and handy.
