The garden is coming along nicely. Since the last update, I have added a grape tomato plant and replanted beans. I waited several weeks, watching the first planting, and nothing. The rows seemed undisturbed, but when I checked, there was no evidence of the seeds. I can only guess that with some pretty cold spring nights and the unusual rain, the first batch of seeds rotted. That, or they just got up and marched away for greener pastures.

As you can see, the second batch is doing nicely. I have a good row of cabbage seedlings, and a healthy row of radishes. The tomato plants are going nuts, and I already have some green tomatoes the size of ping pong balls. The green onions are just starting to come up, and I have a leaf or two of lettuce and one broccoli seedling. The bell pepper plants are fairly well established.

What you can’t see in the pic are the mystery vines. I didn’t plant them. We can only guess that they are some sort of squash, cucumbers, or pumpkins. The strongest of the three was coming up, pretty as you please, in the very middle of the beans. They have been moved to areas in the yard where they can have free reign.

After the photo was taken, the cabbage seedlings were transplanted, and second rows were put in of lettuce, onions, broccoli, and radishes.
