My little balcony garden exploded while I was gone at Roo...weather must have been perfect.  Looks like I'll have some tomatoes soon!

We just had a crazy thunderstorm that took out some of our sunflowers, one tomato plant, knocked all the ripe raspberries off our bushes, and really put a hurtin on our corn patch.  It was quite a storm, they said 7000 recorded lightning strikes in 5 minutes in the city.  Not much I can do about that.

Yup.. the stormy weather up north has really sucked too. Parts of NJ had 6 inches of hail the other day. Lots of folks lost plants, etc

Luckily I have everything tied up and beans started climbing so nothing lost. It's been raining in NY seems like forever and cold spring to boot.

Better daze are coming!  :)

First of the season. Seriously euphoria enducing. Not many things, food wise, beat a freshly picked, ripe mater.



Tons more turning


Oh and the chilies are here.

The recent rains have tripled our cukes in size and I saw fruit coming on yesterday. Ate some of our romaine and spinach in a salad on Sunday. Beets and carrots are starting to come along in the sunnier part of the bed, plowed under the shady part because they were so suck there.
Brussel sprouts are starting to get some leaf eat by insects, so must get some powder on there soon.

I had my first tomatoes yesterday.  Peppers are also ready to harvest for the most part.  The raspberry bush has stopped producing for now, but we made 5 jars of jam.  I also made some mint jelly the other day.  Now I'm looking forward to making some tomato sauce and salsa!

Excellent! What mater was it? 4th of July? They started coming in here along with all the cherry varianties and the green beans. The cherries have been exceptionally delicious so far. Have about a dozen or so good looking jalapeno's just sitting on the vine. Waiting for the wrinkly things to start popping on them before I pick.

I'll be joining you on the ras next year I think/I hope.

The Fourth of July, Stupice, and Sungold all bore ripe fruit yesterday.  I did get one 4th of july the day before so I suppose it was the winner.  It's interesting, the skankiest looking mater plant I have was the first to have harvestable fruit.  

I need to take more pictures of my flowers, they're looking nice.  :)

Did any of your sungold make it?  If so, what do you think of them?  They are my favorite cherry.  And they grow like a weed!

They got mixed into the garden instead of potted. I think one made it but hasn't bore any fruit. Of the 60 or so plants we have, about 6 still have nothing on them. The others are more then making up for it.

Looking good, SB.  

Our cukes are coming in now which is exciting.  We plan on making some pickles with them.  Right now I'm wondering why I planted so many peppers and so few beans, but you live you learn.  Looks like I'm going to be giving away chiles all summer.

Thanks, Md. Can't wait to start picking. Good you have much to share.  :)
