February 19 Update

Things are coming along nicely in the garden. We have been harvesting Pak Choi and making stir fry along with carrots, lettuce, onions, peppers and radishes. Here are a few pics of what we have now.

Here we have a few Vita Rich Carrots and Easter Egg Blend Radishes I just pulled up.



Next we have the Packman Broccoli almost ready to pick.





Next my potatoes are really growing quickly. They have all been hilled up with the furrows filled in so the tubers grow under ground. I am thinking they will be ready to harvest around the end of April.


Here are a few of the seedlings waiting to be transplanted. The larger ones are melons and the ones on the left are a green variety of Kale.



Though kind of hard to see my Mr Big Peas are pushing through the soil. They germinated pretty quickly.



Here the onions are doing fantastic. I pulled one and added it to the stir fry which was fabulous. These were really easy to start from seed and I am real happy with them. We love Vidalia onions and this is the same variety used to grow them though they cannot be legally called Vidalias. They taste just as good if not better.




A pic of the Brussels Sprouts with the Pak Choi in the left fourth of the bed.


The latest Red Butter Head Lettuce recently transplanted.



Here we have the strawberry towers set up. They now need soil with crowns and then I have to install the drip irrigation for them. I have the crowns ordered which should be shipped out soon. Each tower holds 24 plants so that is a total of 144 plants. Tribute is the variety which we did real well with in the bed I had.



This bed now has new transplants of zucchini squash here...


and spaghetti squash here which will be trained up trellises when they get larger. This is my first attempt at spaghetti squash.
