Tomatoes on deck
The tomato plants on our deck on growing very tall and the tomatoes are starting to turn.
Yearly Archives: 2011
New fern and missing carrots
Our carrots have gone missing. Someone pulled them from our garden, along with vegetables from neighbouring gardens as well. It’s a little disappointing, but at least we were able to eat a couple before they were pilfered. The good news is that we can see our lettuce sprouting already and there’s even a little fir tree coming up in our garden.
Garden harvesting and planting
The cherry tomatoes on our deck are producing more and more fruit. We saw several more today. We also harvested the rest of our lettuce and some carrots and onions. We planted some more lettuce, hopefully they will be as successful as the last.
Lots of green and a little purple
The cherry tomatoes in our garden are finally coming out, they’re a little behind the ones on our deck. Also, we’ve had a few beans recently, the purple ones seem to be the only beans that grew, even though we planted three kinds. The basil is doing ok, but it looks like an insect or two has taken a liking to its leaves. In one of the vacant garden plots, the garden community decided to plant pumpkins. Hopefully we’ll get some this year. The mural next to our community garden has been repainted, and it looks fantastic.
Tomato hope
We have two tomato plants on our deck, and while they’ve grown quite tall, neither have produced a tomato… until today.
Picking berries
Today we picked more berries, there were a lot of nice, ripe ones. We also harvested more lettuce for salad.
Of beans and berries…
Today we finally saw our first beans on one of our bean plants. Also, the raspberry bush that is leaning over the fence is showing some ripe berries and the mushroom we found growing in our garden is getting very big.
Garden maintenance day
Today we pulled a bunch of weeds from our garden and the common area, and also mowed the lawn with the push mower. One of the plants we inherited in our garden is now producing berries of some kind.
Transplanted tomatoes
We transplanted some of our tomato plants from our deck to our garden plot. Our carrots continue to flourish.
More greens please
Our garden greens are flourishing. Today we harvested some spinach, mixed greens, rhubarb, multiplier onions, and the rest of our radishes. We also planted lettuce in place of our radishes.
