Almost a month has past since my last garden update. Honestly I haven’t been doing much there except for swinging by every other week it seems and picking ripe peppers and lettuce. Today after church however, we decided to stop by on our way home so I wouldn’t have to go back another day this week. Haha Look at the spoils!
I was surprised to see my tomatoes have grown bigger. There’s one plant that has started ripening its fruit already despite them being super small, and I was thinking the others would follow suite. All three of the plants I sowed were Early Girls, but the other two, I was happy to see have begun ripening fruit that’s worthy of picking. So we got two. The others will be ripe soon enough though and when they are, I’ll have a lot of them! Carrots finally looked big enough to pull. Some of them at least. I’ve been waiting patiently for them forever it seems. When I sowed them, I put a few seeds into each hole placed about 2″ apart and as a result some of them have grown together into one root. It’s no matter, but makes them look like molars than long pointed carrots. 
We picked the last of the butter leaf lettuce. I’m thinking I’ll have time to sow some more and get more before summer is over. Gypsy peppers were the most beautiful I’ve picked yet, with all varieties of color. I decided to pick some mint as we intended to give a lot of this away to friends and since the plant is so large and we needed to trim it down, I thought, why not? I decided to keep some as well and try my luck at making a tea from it.
