The cherry tomatoes once again beat the heirloom tomatoes. They are so cute! Still waiting on: cucumbers, bell peppers, six varieties of hot peppers, four varieties of watermelons, okra, onions and artichokes.
I also planted asparagus this year for the first time. It is such a beautiful plant. I cannot wait until next year to harvest our first crop.

Hi Kimberly!
Great post, and great blog! We’ve just started enjoying our new batch of spinach and courgettes from our garden here in London. Luckily our spring weather’s been quite good! Looking forward to reading your posts and learning more about you and your horse!
Hi Paulino!
Thank you! I’m very new to blogging so you comment means a lot to me! I can’t wait to get our spinach in the ground (usually around September). You’re so lucky to be able to plant it in the spring!
Nothing growing your own food…have you ever seen the documentary King Corn?…It explains how we want from a nation of small famers to a land of a few hughe agribusiness and what this means for our health…I love near New York city and there’s a lot of talk and attempts to eat local…in other words not grown further away than a 100 miles..
I meant to write nothing like growing your own food…
I did see King Corn. I wish more people would see it and wake up to what is happening. One of these days the masses will wake up and wonder “what the heck have we done?!” re Big Ag and genetically modified seeds. The fallout is huge.
How does one keep lettuce growing all summer? And all winter?
Hey Joe! I really need to pay more attention to my blog. Life gets in the way you know?
There are summer and winter varieties of lettuce. We switch to the winter varieties in September and to the summer varieties in March. For your particular climate your county extension is a great resource.
