May 19, 2016 - Garden is Planted
The garden finally was planted today. I have been hardening off the plants for over a week now during the unusually cool May. Sunday and Monday nights were down to the upper 30s so I had to wait out the last cold night.
In addition to the seeds I purchased several plants from Zerns market in Boyertown. They were so cheap it was hard to resist.
In all my garden this year contains:
18 pepper plants:
- 4 Cherry Peppers
- 4 Italian Roasters
- 4 Bell Peppers
- 2 Cheyenne
- 3 Hot Wax
- 1 Hungarian Wax
8 tomatoes:
- 4 Polverini Ox Hearts
- 1 Black krim
- 1 Golden Yellow
- 1 Orange
- 1 Cherry
2 Cucumber
1 Zucchini
1 Yellow squash
3 Doc Marten Lima Beans
