Garden 2006

It's been quite a long time (too long) since I've posted in this blog. So much has happened since my last post. Most of you reading this will know all about that already, so I'll just leave it at that...

This is about our garden. Yes, we did manage a garden this year and it's doing remarkably well.

Onions have not done so well this year. I think I got a bad batch. (they're in that bare patch in the middle). I've planted a new batch, so hopefully they'll do well in time for "salsa season."

We've only had 2 ripe tomatoes so far, but they're coming along nicely. This one is just beginning to turn. We have 3 varieties of tomatoes this year (10 plants).

It's going to be a real good year for peppers. We grew sweet bananas, red and green bells, and these little hot salsa peppers. Eric saved some seed from hot peppers he grew last year. They got started a little late but are hanging in there.

We are also growing cantelope, which is taking over everything at that end of the garden.
