Garden Update

Have I mentioned how wonderful it's been to have a garden year round? This is one of the many things that I will miss about living in Kenya.

I have successfully planted and harvested the following from seed:

swiss chard (this has been growing nonstop since September...it's monster chard and I can't get enough of it)
tomatoes (3 plants yielded about 70 tomatoes in January)
carrots
peppers (Only 1 grew but I'm still hoping for more)
scallion
onions
beets
cilantro
dill
parsley
basil
spinach
mixed greens
romaine lettuce
arugula
kentucky blue pole beans
watermelon (this didn't work but it was a fun attempt)
cucumbers (also a failure...I think my soil needs work)

Here are some pictures
