Spring Gardening

I got started in January planting seeds for tomatoes. All my tomatoes are now planted in the ground. Going with 15 plants this year. Hopefully generate 200 - 300 pounds. Lots of new heirlooms with my two best tasting types, Red (Chocolate Stripes), Yellow (Nashville Giant). I have gotten the yellow up to 2.5 pounds. Usually 1 to 1.5 pounds. Very good eating.

Started 3 weeks ago planting green beans. Usually 20 seeds per week for 8 weeks.

Two zucchini plants is too many but it insures one survives. 2 cucumbers for the same reason.

Probably 4 - 6 pepper plants. Not sure what colors are coming, red, yellow, orange, green? No idea.

I’m pulling a lot of cilantro and just giving it away. I have made all the chimichurri I need. My lettuce and spinach is reaching the end. Spinach has been tremendous. Popeye level spinach this winter.
