May 16, 2011

With temps in the 90's last week things are popping up all over. Today it is cold and rainy so I'll post some new pictures.




Our cabbage is looking good and starting to head up.



The Candy Sweet Onions will be ready to pick in a few weeks. They are just starting to break ground and push up the bulb.







The sugar snap peas are Very Slow but coming along. With the recent rains the pole beans have jumped up and are attaching to the wire trellis.







In the foreground are Colossus peas coming up. Next are the sweet potatoes in plastic trying to get adjusted to their new surroundings and finally the bush beans are starting to look pretty good. Last year they were a disaster so maybe this will be their year to shine. At the very top of the picture you can see our summer squash and zucchini starting to shoot up. With some more warm weather they should be ready in 2-3 weeks.





The green onions are at their peak now and I'll be taking some to the Rockmart Farmer's market.









Finally a look inside the High Tunnel.






The spinach is ready for market and I'll be taking them to the Rockmart Farmer's market this Thursday also.










These burpless cucumbers should be ready in three weeks.



The tomatoes are reaching for the stars! Some are over 7 foot tall. I'll be using a ladder next week to adjust the trellising. They were supposed to be ripe by next week but that won't happen. Maybe 2-3 more weeks.
