April Garden Update

I can't believe how long it has been since I updated my blog! I'm still gardening, loving it more than ever.

I am very proud that I have tomatoes ripening in my earthboxes! I'll write more about them tomorrow.

I've also got tomatoes flowering out in my beds. I'm so excited. It's been a very warm spring, so I also have some peppers and eggplants already planted. I have tons of beautiful lettuce, and a few radishes, although it really got too warm for the radishes. The peas are almost ready, and they are tall and beautiful. My garlics are growing, which is good, because I am nearly out of the garlic I grew last year for cooking. I've got my herbs growing too, and enough parsley that I really need to make some chimmichurri sauce as soon as possible, and save it up. I'm also wanting to plant lots of flowers in my beds this year, mainly zinnias.

I'm still battling the bermuda grass in my front garden, but have planted some very tough perinneals and annual seeds. I'll be using paper/cardboard as a weed barrier.
