April 20 Pictures

My carrots

Corn

Salad-lettuces, swiss chard, onions and spinach

Tomato, Pole Beans, peppers, cantaloupe, sunflower

Here is an update on my garden.  Things are growing well.  It has been a little cool the last week or so here in Oklahoma, probably not great for my tomato, cantaloupe and bean plants, but all is looking good.

Things are great in the Garden

My SFG is doing great.  I did make a mistake which the SFG book said to be careful of... don't over plant.  My lettuce garden is producing like crazy and my family can't eat this much salad every day.  The picture is of a really big bowl of lettuce and spinach that I harvest every day!

Corn is on the Way!

My corn is doing great.  I planted 12 seeds and I have 12 stalks.  So far so good.  I planted 12 more this morning and will plant 12 more in two weeks.  My carrots are in the same bed as the corn and they are starting to sprout.

Garden is Set

I went to our local farm store (Conrad Farms Bixby) and purchased some plants for the garden.  I got three varieties of tomato plants:  Celebrity, Big Boy and Cherokee Purple which is a heirloom.  They were all started right down the road from my house.  I also got several different pepper plants.  I also bought some tomato cages.  I was going to use the frame with netting, but it would have closed in my garden.  

My pole beans are starting to show and I have a canteloupe starting.
