May 1st Overview

It’s the first of May and the Sun has been out somewhat today. The porch garden is doing well.

The plants are still pretty small but you can see some of them standing back. The “Salad box” is the most noticeable right now. The lettuce, spinach, and arugula don’t mind the cooler weather as much.

At the other end the Swiss Chard and some of the Teddy Bear Sunflowers are starting to take off as well.

Last year’s star producer – the Thai Pink Egg tomato is also doing well this year. Our early sprouting plant is getting bigger and it now has a few more plants to keep it company.

The Herb box has two of the more successful sunflowers and quite a few basil and (possibly) oregano plants but the herbs are all still quite small.

Our other tomato box is supposed to have our Siletz tomato and the ground cherry. Nothing has come up but I did start some new seeds – so hopefully I’ll have something soon.
