Plot 5 Update - May 9th

Lots of progress in Plot 5 ........... all tomatoes are in and the carrots, lettuce, arugula and cilantro are looking good - have started to harvest the arugula and a few tiny cilantro leaves ......... amazing addition to salads ...... soon the mesclun mix can be harvested.  Baby greens are prime, and have to find room for cucumbers and peppers, coming soon ..........

And a brief update on three dwarfs  - headed to another garden where I volunteer - two Cheerful F2, Sleeping Lady and Dwarf Jade Beauty- just waiting on new soil - would have liked to get them in the garden sooner ...........

May 3 Tomatoes and Peppers

Don't think I've listed the tomato varieties I'm growing this year, so here they are .......... check out Tania's site for descriptions of most -
Tatiana's TOMATObase

Still have not decided which tomatoes will go where.  I have six 5-gallon containers at home, space for maybe six tomatoes in Plot 5, and I'm also growing some for the SPEC Cambie garden where I volunteer

........ of course I always start more than I have room for.  I'm rather excited about the two F2 - always a mystery, although one of the Persimmon x unknown hearts has the tell tale narrow leaves of many heart shaped varieties
