Growing Plans

I don't have a huge plot - I'm in an apartment/condo complex - but there's a nice bit of earth that's being offered to the residents this year for growing gardens. Pictures TK, when the land's actually been tilled (should be very soon!).

In the meantime, I've bought all my seeds and started some inside. Here's what I got:

Cherry Tomatoes
Big Boy Tomatoes
Lemon Cucumbers
Little Delicious Cucumbers
Sugar Snap Peas
Little Gem Lettuce
California Wonder Bell Peppers
Tenderpod Green Beans

The only other thing I might do is onions, but I'd rather wait and see exactly how much room I have for those.

I'm especially looking forward to the Lemon Cucumbers (which really do look like lemons, as odd as that seems). They're organic - I suppose that just means they aren't a hybrid, as they originate from either Russia or Asia somewheres - and taste "sweet" according to the package. Never seen or tasted one before, so I'm excited to see how they turn out!

Three of the four cucumber seeds sprouted ridiculously fast. I planted them Saturday night in some peat pellets and Monday they were poking through the soil. I had to transplant them yesterday into some sturdier containers, they were getting so big! From the picture below (the tiniest of the re-pots), taken yesterday, they've popped up at least another inch. Today, the biggest of them is two inches high, with way chunkier leaves. It's fun seeing how big a difference I can see just between leaving work and coming home 8 hours later. Ah, the little things. C:
