1st Tomato of the Season

So it looks like I have my first tomato of the season.  Blooms are starting to appear on my tomato plants and after some debate I decided to put out some additional plants in the open space between my peppers and cukes.  I picked up some nice okra plants and an eggplant for the wife.  She loves eggplants but I just haven’t found a taste for them yet.  If we get a couple this season maybe I will give it another try.

I also picked up a couple watermelon plants that I’ll post pictures of a little later.

Hot Peppers

The above picture contains some straightneck yellow squash, cucumbers and cayenne peppers. I love hot pepper sauce so I plan on putting out a few more pepper plants this weekend so I can have a bumper crop to make pepper sauce and relish. The two lower plants are yellow squash and the upper right hand plants are cucumbers. I have to build a trellis for the cukes to climb but that is not going to happen this weekend.

I have room for 3 more tomato plants and will get some this weekend. I will get some better pictures of each plant as it grows. I will also provide the type of tomato plants that I have next week. I picked tomatoes that had different maturity dates so I wouldn't have them all come in at the same time. I wish I had more room for a larger garden because there are so many veggies that I would really like to grow. Oh well, that will happen once we buy our new house.
