Garden Bounty


In the last week and a half we had two really good salads from the garden.   The Bibb lettuce is exactly what I hoped it would be.  Super soft, and tasty.    

Last night, we also used some of green onions for the first time.  It was a good feeling, pulling 6 onions and not even being able to tell where I pulled them from.   Still have at least 80 in there!    
Also last night, we had the first two snap peas!  There are about 10 peas that I can see, but with everything so green, it is hard to find all of the peas.  

Updates

On Sunday, I finally transplanted the pepper plants into the ground.   I put about 10 transplants in the lettuce/onion patch in the front, and put two or three more in the Bibb lettuce patch in the back.  

The last planting of bush beans has broken the surface. There are about 15 plants in total now.  

Two or three of the Dahlia plants broke the surface this weekend, but it looks like the squirrels are eating the tender first leaves, just like the beans.  We might need to make some mesh baskets to protect them.
