April 21 Tour

I received seeds for this papaya in a trade last year. It was supposed to a long green papaya but the seeds must have crossed. They are not the long ones but they are growing large and the tree is bearing only about 30" above ground, a very desirable trait since i am short!


You can see the wing beans which are growing to the right of these on my last post. The seeds from these plants came from Baker's Creek and just don't seem to want to grow.


My little Meyer Lemon tree has been bearing heavily all winter. i love this combination of blue and yellow.


When oh when will my shallots be ready? They have been taking up this patch of earth since last September!!


The Striped Bunch beans are looking really good.  The Pink Calendula i planted are no match for the Pacific Giants.


Yum, my favorite, Purple Passion aspargus. It is so sweet and tender that we have been eating it raw.


Wow, the potatoes are growing fast. i peeked under the straw today and found a few babies already.


This pretty plant is Black Cumin aka Nigella.  i saved seeds from last year's plants and was suprised to get really poor germination. Luckily a little goes a long way.


The Lacinato kale is only a few months old. i wonder how it will do during the summer months?
