We bought all of our plants last weekend. Thankfully, we didn't have enough time to put them in the ground just before a huge storm and a frost warning. Instead, they spent the night snuggled up against our house, away from the hail and the frost. Today, we're going to get them in the ground. Here's what's going in today.
2 elderberry bushes
8 Better Boy tomatoes
2 heirloom tomatoes ("Mountain Pride" and "Yellow Pear")
3 cherry tomatoes
4 bell peppers
spinach
leeks
rattlesnake pole beans: three 18-foot rows. (we like green beans)
kale
straight neck squash
spaghetti squash
French breakfast radishes
watermelon "Congo"
cucumber
beets "bull's blood"
okra- not Clemson Spineless. Instead, a lighter-colored variety that doesn't get tough as it gets larger. I have no idea what the name is.
burgundy okra, because it makes pink water when you pickle it!
herbs- cilantro, rosemary, basil, borage
New Daddy also wanted to grow strawberries in a topsy-turvy container, so one of those is hanging from the kids swing set. Berries are already coming out on it!
