Green Thumb

I've been remiss in posting pictures of my garden this year. We had an unusually cold, wet spring so it took awhile for my plants to really get up and going. I've been taking pictures, but haven't taken time to post them. Some of these pictures are at least a month old, so the plants are even more impressive today. Anyway, without further ado....my 2010 garden.

I planted more seeds this year than I normally do. I started from seed radishes, carrots, beans, sweet peas, nasturtiums, chives, mint, Anaheim peppers, broccoli, and onions.

And this years tomatoes include Sun Gold (my favorite cherry size), Early Girl, Arkansas Traveler, Mortgage Lifter, Polish Linguisa, Big Rainbow, and Purple Cherokee. All the plants have tomatoes, but only the Sun Gold has had fruit ripe enough to eat. My fingers are crossed that the warm weather won't vanish before we've been able to enjoy more of the garden's offerings.
