Peas
Tera planted peas in early April in #10.
Slowly but surely they have made progress and seem to have survived all the rain that we have had in the last few weeks. Today I guided them up our amazing purple trellis. Let's hope they take this guidance and don't become defiant little pea plants!
Patchouli
One of Tera's favorite scents would be Patchouli, so today when Kelly and I found ourselves at Seven Arrows, it was requested that I find a new plant. It does smell great! Located in #10 in the same location as last year's patchouli plant.
I believe that in the background there are little volunteer lettuces from last year, but I could be wrong and they could be weeds!
Peppers
Today I also planted some peppers. The peppers are located in #12u. I planted 5 jalapeno plants, 5 banana pepper plants, and 1 hot cheery pepper plant. We didn't grow any peppers last year, so we'll see if we have any luck. Kelly tells me that the previous renters of #12u had a great deal of luck with peppers last year. (Fingers crossed that the luck is still with #12u)
Despite the title of the post there are other things of note for this entry.
I planted 3 heirloom tomato plants in #10 today. Bought them at Seven Arrows, where I couldn't resist considering the note that was left near the plants...."Awww, man! Every nurseryman's nightmare-Gremlins removed the heirloom tomato tags! If you want to take a chance here's a list of what your tomato might be: Green Zebra, Red Cheery Small, Cherokee Purple, Tall Vine Striped German, Rose, Nepal, Moskvich, Japanese Black Trifele, or Great White."
Strawberries in the future?
I wouldn't complain!
That does it for now. Hoping the weather this week is appropriate for the end of May and I find sometime at the garden to plant a few things. Tera's started things from seed and they are growing nicely in a little green house in western New York... hoping that they make their journey east soon! ;-)
