G’morning, Diana:

Our pepper plants are sporting thumb-sized peppers where a week ago, only blossoms existed.
More good news: Mother wood duck still looking after five baby duckies from the seven that hatched a week or ten days ago. Damned turtles are waking up...

All else is well at the big lake.

Thanks for the PING!
Central Konnecticut - everything went in last weekend - peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, summer and winter squash, bush beans.
Oh, forgot potatoes - they go in tomorrow.

Garlic is up - waiting on scapes, rhubarb is just coming back up, strawberries are maybe a week away and raspberries a month.

And two of our three hens are broodie - that's a pain.

Lots of maters coming in. Finally have blooms on peas and puny pepper plants.

Well I pretty much wiped out my fine seedlings. Such a good start.

sigh

A couple still growing - Might, MIGHT have some sweet pepper seedlings last - they haven’t grown in awhile but still green and healthy-looking.

So it’s a WalMart garden - 7 potted plants (still in original pots) - 4 tomato, maybe 5, 3 different kinds of tomato among those, a green bell and a red bell.

2 WM sweet basil (potted in another pot) and a rosemary (1 potted same way).

Other than 10 WM plants - 10 green onions going - looking good (THANKS to whoever told me to do that - saved two 50 cent green onion bunches, even in the fridge - planted 5 x 2. About 1/2” long or so. Now the tops are 3”-4” in just a few weeks. I’ll have lots of scallions, it seems.

PLUS the $3 WM red onion bulbs - about 27 planted and hope to start 8-10 tomorrow maybe Tuesday. The 27 have already started good, only been in the soil less than 2 weeks - already sprouting 3” or better. So I’ve still got a lot of bulbs left. We’ll see how many others I can get started. There should still be 70+ in the bag (you get 100 for $3). Some are too small won’t work but most of them are good.

I was doing so well on my seedlings and then..........oops.

No volunteer tomato plants this year.
Breen getting them for 3 years from a friend I gave plants to. But not this year.
Sad, I thought they were suited for this area.
And they were delicious!

Oh well, have some heirloom seeds seedling to share with my friends, will see what they do.
