I did some more planting yesterday. In the plot, I planted chard seedlings, two types of squash (butternut and delicata), a hot pepper, a zucchini and three cucumber plants. All of them were grown from seed. I also harvested some lettuce from the back porch and replanted that container with chard seedlings.
Still no water in the garden. So, currently I have radishes, carrots, lettuce, beets and parsley growing in the plot. The seedlings are strong and ready to go in the ground, but I will wait a few more days hoping that we will get water soon.
I replanted two tomatoes, one hot pepper, eggplant, parsley and basil plant each on the back porch. There are also two lettuces in medium-size pots and a variety of herbs. The front porch has dwarf peas, lettuce and kale as well as mint, chives and cilantro grown from seed.
We still do not have water in the garden. It is supposed to be turned on this season but not until the governor lifts the stay-at-home order, which is currently scheduled to expire a week from today. So, not much is going on in the plot. The radishes are coming up and I transplanted some Chiogga beets (a gift from another gardener) and some head lettuce today. I also resowed peas today, which miraculously have been disappearing over the last few weeks. I suspect the birds. This is my third (and last) attempt.
First harvest of 2020: baby greens (arugula, lettuce and kale) plus cilantro from my back porch container garden. I used it to top a fried egg-sandwich made with chili-garlic mayo on homemade sourdough bread. Yum!
