What did you plant/harvest today?

Harvested 2 large bags of weeds yesterday.

And after our 1 inch of rain the crab grass pulled much easier. More digging to do in that area though as the root system can go on forever!

harvested a few leaves from my stevia. gotta figure out how to use em. Planted more stevia, basil, and strawberries. I have more mint to get int the ground too.

Wow...It is snowing here today (Alberta, Canada)...ugh..I hate it

Anyhow, I do container gardening mostly because it seems easier than planting...I have lettuce, tomatoes, squash, eggplant, onion, and lots of herbs all sitting in pots in my kitchen waiting for the sun to come out....lol

My $16 Garden

I blogged about it today, I will add pics later. I'm too lazy to try to find the cord for the cell phone

I brought in a few stalks of my irises, they look nice in a vase. I left some to enjoy outside too.

replanted more strawberries. some kids pulled em yesterday and I about lost my mind.

I have to repot some more stevia and i also planted some butternut squash as well.

Looking forward to a HUGE garden this year if all goes well.

My very first ripe Heirloom tomato of the season. Actually, I pulled it off yesterday as we were expecting heavy rains. We left it on the counter overnight to ripen just a bit further and this morning it was the first thing we went to. I sliced it from the bottom. First slice looked good. Second slice looked good. Smelled it. Smelled delicious then I took a closer look. I was puzzled at what I saw. Lots of "greenish" guts that had pulled away from the flesh. It was almost like a pepper inside if you can imagine the seed ball in a green/red pepper. I sliced further only to notice the closer I got to the stem it was black/diseased (possible pest infested but it looks more diseased) inside. DH spent a few hours on the web today trying to identify the problem. Came up with nothing. We were so bummed. Still have more tomatoes coming but now we're worried.

OH NO! Ihave no clue about what the problem could be with your tomatoes, but that is just crummy... Hopefully it is just that tomato, or at the most just that plant, and you still get fruit full tomatoes!

We planted our garden on Sunday, I still have to plant the cucumbers, zucinni, green beans, peppers, corn and tomatoes... here is what I have planted

Potatoes, Beets, carrots, okra, cabbage, Jalepanos, Harbaneros, Leaf lettuce, pumpkins.

My strawberries came back again this year, and they are spreading. Two years ago I planted 8 plants and this year OMG! I have so many. Yesterday I harvested 5 strawberries and boy were they good.

Hopefully the rain holds off today and I can finish up my garden. I am running out of room though, so I might plant my peppers in buckets along the house!
