May 18 Container Tomatoes and Peppers

Tomato List 2019

Thought I'd cut back on varieties this year - well sort of!!

The tomatoes I started from seed:
Apero F1 - my favourite cherry a few years back
Adelaide Festival (Dwarf Tomato Project introduced 2015) - favourite from last year
Fred's Tie Dye (Dwarf Tomato Project introduced 2015)
Brad's Atomic Grape - the colours on this one are amazing
7c 28-1 from Tomatoville seed trade - yet  to be revealed ......

and I just had to have one more, then another one .......... here is what I purchased as small plants:
Little Bing F1 - such a cute micro-dwarf I couldn't resist
Sweet Hearts F1 - because I wanted a grape tomato for my salads
Black Krim - one of the old classics and I love dark tomatoes


While I'm posting, thought I should include my sweet peppers for this year - started from seed:
Cambuci
Doe Hill
Zolotistyi
Yellow Capriglio

and, again another trip to the Garden Store:
Gypsy

Early May

Well, it appears I have no pictures for April!!  First year I have not photographed my tomato progress!!

Anyhoo, thought this was rather beautiful - Camus fields in Victoria, BC in early May

March 20 - Supermoon

And the first day of Spring .......

March 11 - Spring Fast Approaching

here is Plot 5 after our February snow ......

kale looking happy and perennial garlic chives just starting to wake up











a giant radish - I was hoping to let this go to seed, but some critter pulled it up!!

mid February - winter's here

no snow in January, but February made up for it ......

a pic of Plot 5 - I left the alyssum for a winter ground cover, and a few green bits still showing

and my back container garden - spring bulbs planted and fall salad greens just about done
