Grow please!

I think today might be the day that the garden really starts growing - temperatures up to 25 degrees C, and sunny!

Potatoes and Tomatoes seem to be doing well (left side of garden)- a good ego boost for now, hopefully the final product will be as amazing as they look right now.

I've been hilling the potatoes which should increase the number of potatoes produced per plant - but I've run out of soil, so I must get more tonight.




















The hot pepper plants have tiny little hot peppers starting, although the plant itself isn't that big yet... hopefully with some more hot weather, they will shoot up! These are plants given to me by my aunt. We had one plant last year that we inherited at the end of the season and kept in a pot through the fall, and these peppers are crazy hot!




















I think I might have carrots afterall! I planted some radishes with the carrots because I've heard they will break up the soil and allow the delicate carrot seeds to break through more easily. I had given up, but I see there are some carrot tops emerging in the understory of the radish tops.

If all goes well these tiny tops will become delicious Napoli carrots pictured below.
