As I’ve written before, I am very fortunate to have a garden plot in the backyard behind my apartment. I’m not growing a wide variety of things, mostly tomatoes of varying sorts, and cucumbers. Speaking of cucumbers here is one of my lemon cukes:
I’ve got four plants in the ground right now.
I’m also growing tomatillos:
These have really taken to the soil and are quite large now compared to when I put them in the ground. Tomatillos are crazy growers and two plants should supply me with plenty of fruit this summer.
I’m growing ground cherries:
There are about four plants in there, and when they get a little bigger, I’ll separate them.
I’m growing tomatoes, too. Two of the varieties are Prudens Purple and Silver Fir. Thanks to the urban gardener meetup a few months ago for the Silver Fir seeds!
I’m also growing an Amish paste tomato, and I attempted to grow a yellow pear. The yellow pear especially is not thriving – I think it’s because of the location in the plot. Unfortunately, this space doesn’t get as much sun as I would like. I may put one of the remaining pear tomatoes in a container on the deck.
And finally, another gratuitous tree shot:
Hooray for the warm weather growing season!
