Default 2015 Tomatoes and Garden

I enjoy everyone's garden photos, so I'll post more of mine again this year.

The lettuce, spinach, onions, peas, radishes broccoli, and kale are planted out/emerged.

The peppers moved out to the cold frame last Sunday and the tomatoes made the venture out today. The coming week looks to have a lot of sunshine and warmth, get those soil temps up!

The seedlings are growing like mad and likely will get planted out this weekend or early next week.

And the ones that got put into buckets early are in a makeshift frost protector tonight. A chance of frost with temps in the mid 30s. Skies are clearing winds are diminishing and dewpoints are in the low-mid 30s. Too close to feel safe. Should be the last time we have threat of frost this spring.

Those peppers look healthy and happy. The pre/post mulch pics are great. Look forward to their growth.

Thanks. The peppers are mulched too. They were a little root bound. I started them early this year and topped some. In hindsight I should have potted up once more or started a bit later. But they seem healthy and happy even a couple flowers.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

While the tomatoes and peppers are just planted out and we've got a long way to go on those, we got our first lettuce and spinach harvest of the year--33oz! Should make for a couple big salad meals for all of us. And the radishes our son grew in his barrel are fantastic. Even at that size, tender and just a bit of radish zip. The bucket/colander combo is something I got last year and love it. Great for harvesting greens and washing outside.
