Here's a look from 4/20:
These are mystery beans. I may need your help figuring out what they are when they bear fruit.
The peas are having a hard time grabbing onto the makeshift trellis. I have to move them onto the trellis every time I water them because they somehow manage to slip off.
The cilantro were struggling at first but they're getting the hang of the outside world and are looking more and more like cilantro.
Go lettuce go! At the rate these are developing, we'll have enough to make a light half salad for the lucky dieter.
This tomato plant (not sure which kind it is anymore) was purchased as a small plant so I'm not worried about it failing as long as it's watered frequently.
The yard is also getting some work done at the same time:
From 4/25:
Mom added some more herbs to the garden. Mint at the far end and something I've only seen in Vietnamese dishes in the foreground.
These are the zucchini before mom replanted them outside the gated garden. Apparently I planted the seeds too closely and didn't leave any room for the plants to crawl about (Oops!).
Onions (taken from the stash in the fridge) have sprouted bigger leaves. These were planted with lots of care by JB and replanted by mom because mom always gets the final say.
What's this, a blueberry flower?? Hooray! Now sprout another one so we can get at least one blueberry.
Mom has taken over this garden. These are the shallots she planted. They are poking through the layer of dried grass she sprinkled over the bulbs. This layer helps to keep the soil in place under the pressure of the water stream. Genius!
And lastly for this post, 4/27:
We've got peppers! It's always fun to see half eaten peppers. I wonder if squirrels can feel the burn...
Mom's planted two strawberry plants in place of the zucchinis. I guess these don't need that much room to crawl.
