The vegetable garden is off to a great start

Basil, Peas, loose leaf lettuces, cucumbers and some ball cabbage transplanted

• Oregon Sugar Pod Peas
• Genovese Basil (pesto)
• Danish Ball Head Cabbage
• Loose Leaf Lettuce Mix
• National Pickling Cucumber

The tomatoes broccoli and cauliflower aren’t ready to go quite yet, but hopefully they will be in a week or so. It’s warm and there’s no rain in sight (at least for the next 10 days), so I went ahead and planted bush beans, straight neck summer squash, a zucchini called cash flow, and some early sweet corn.

New pole bean trellis is up and ready

While we were down there cleaning and preparing the vegetable garden I went ahead and repaired the bean trellis, which was crushed by luffa gourd vines last fall, and planted several varieties of pole beans including Forex, Kentucky Blue and Rattlesnake.
