Just picked our first serrano pepper. The better-half will be very pleased when he gets home.
In contrast to the state of the garden in late April:
This garden contains all of the herbs. We realize some of these plants will eventually need to go in the ground. We’ve always had luck with sage and rosemary so they will probably get moved into an actual bed later this year. The chives we brought from our old house, and I thought they had died. The thyme lived in a pot for most of last year waiting for us to move. It is so much happier now that it’s in a more permanent place.
We also have tomatoes and a passel of peppers, including the serranos.
Our other container holds a cucumber, a grape tomato, acorn squash from a squash from the old house and several green bean plants. There will be more green bean plants soon as we planted another couple of hills this past weekend.
We’re hoping for a good outcome this year because, as you know, vegetable gardening hasn’t really worked out for us in the past.
This little critter has been spotted all over the backyard:
