Garden
Lotsa planting today
Today we planted a bunch of stuff in the garden. Planting potatoes, garlic, multiplier onions, radishes, basil, green leaf lettuce, spinach, mesclun.
Flourishing tomatoes
The tomatoes are spending some time outside now. Almost ready to be transplanted.
Continuing adventures of tomatoes
We’ve moved the tomatoes to individual pots so they can flourish. Still no sign of the peppers though.
Sprouting tomatoes
Our tomatoes seem to be doing well. The peppers haven’t sprouted yet, but they’re supposed to take a little longer. We’ll see…
Return of the ducks
While cleaning around our community garden, we noticed the duck couple have returned.
Tomatoes & Peppers
We started our tomato and pepper seeds indoors this past weekend in jiffy pots. This year we are hoping to foil the vegetable theives by planting unusual varieties of tomotoes: Taxi tomatoes (which are a light yellow colour) and Black Cherry. We are trying Jalapeno peppers for the first time. A few of our fellow Collingwood gardeners have had success with these.
New year, new garden plot
This year we’ve changed garden plots to a new space. We’re hoping to get more sun for our garden in the new location. The plot included a strawberry plant which we’ve kept.
Tomatoes on deck
The tomato plants on our deck on growing very tall and the tomatoes are starting to turn.
