April in the Garden: Pictures (1 of 2)
Apr. 18th, 2010 03:59 pmThe sun seemed to shine during the day yesterday and today which allowed me to get some things done in the garden. It's always a good day when i can be outside.
The garden taken from my backyard. Onions and garlic in the foreground - those things that look like weeds are actually cilantro (it grows wild now all winter....everywhere I let it.)

Marcel's Potatoes - they got hit bad by the late frost, but they seem to be recovering okay.

We've got the tomatoes growing with the winter greens for now - in the back baby sunflowers - and in the foreground you can just see the green beans.

This is italian parsley flowering. On either side is curly parsley which "lasts" much longer - If I keep it watered, it will grow through to next spring before going to seed.

This is well trimmed Swiss Chard growing with green beans now. The Chard would normally last until the end of May, but I may need to pull them early to allow the green beans room (we'll see)

Baby Sunflowers. This is my first year growing them - I hope they do well!

This is the Arugula - if you look closely you can see the seed pods. I plan to save the seeds and throw them into the yards of people I don't like (this stuff in borderline invasive - haha).

Here is my second try at cucumbers this year (first ones died with the late frost)
