It has certainly been a busy week planting out all the vegetables from the greenhouse. The weather is finally warm enough at night so I decided it was safe to plant all the peppers.
This raised bed has two different varieties of orange bell peppers. I had put in all the shallots and bunching onions earlier in the month.
Along the side of the house are three varieties of Jalapeno peppers. There are a few more shallots in front of them as well. I have to make good use of my limited space.
These are all Red Marconi peppers, which were all eaten by a rodent this week. I have to figure out what to do next. The eggplant is getting larger now that it is in the ground.
The tomato plants are happier being planted and are already putting out flowers.
I planted them very deep so that most of the stem is underground to create a good root system. As they grow I will clamp them to the cattle panel to secure them. It works wonderfully for training them and for easy harvesting.
I have two panels I use for all the San Marzano paste tomatoes.
Next to the tomatoes, I have a panel where the cucumbers are planted, and a few peas that have been eaten too. So I decided to plant the Plabano peppers next to the cucumbers. It will be easier to tie them to the panel for support.
The peas I planted on the hammock frame are taking off slowly. So far the critters are leaving these alone. Fingers crossed!
Look how nicely the Buttercrunch lettuce is forming its head. I think it likes being under the shade of the Lilac tree.
The garlic that was planted last November is standing tall and strong. It will be ready for harvest in a month or so.
The large raised bed was planted in early April and the plants are doing very well. The onions, cabbage, and beets are doing fantastic. The insect netting is keeping the cabbage moths out of the garden this year.
The Chinese cabbage are getting huge already. Before I know it I will be making another batch of Kimchi.
Last but not least the Asian Pole Beans are taking hold and hopefully will climb the twine I put them next to. Perhaps I will have to assist them to get them started in the right direction.
Happy Gardening to all my fellow homesteaders.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
