Peas and Carrots

This appears to be the first pea of the season.


Some of the carrots I transplanted from seedlings. They seem to be stunted and not very impressive. I think I'll stick to direct seeding carrots from now on.

Peas and broccoli

One of the first blossoms on the peas. The weather has been really nice here lately and things are growing well.


Some pea tendrils.


One little broccoli floret. That's not enough for a stir fry.

Pea tendrils and other garden scenes


This is a tendril from one of the Tall Telephone pea plants.


Last year I didn't save the radish seeds from most of the plants, because I had several different varieties growing at the same time. When I pulled out the old plants I didn't worry about collecting the seeds. The yard near the garden bed has a lawn of radishes, California poppies and some broccoli.


The oregano is starting to get new leaves. I harvested a bunch this weekend and put it in the dehydrator. It's perfect for tomato sauces and such.


Lettuce plants have seeds that kind of look like dandelions seeds with the fuzzy end. I didn't get to collect too much seed, but many fell on the nearby soil. This is one of them growing on it's own.


This is one of the biggest broccoli plants, so far this year.

Raspberries are still coming

The raspberry has started to flower again. Maybe I'll get a second batch of raspberries before it gets too cold.


Peas.

Pumpkin and seedlings


Tall Telephone is growing fast.


This is one of the broccoli seedlings I transplanted a few weeks ago.

Peas and pumpkins

The pea seedlings have sprouted. This variety is called Tall Telephone.


I like this photo because it shows the contrast between the older pumpkin and the younger one. Varieties like New England Sugar Pie start out green and mature to orange. Rouge Vif d' Etampes starts light yellow and matures to a dark orange, almost red.
