Plot progress - beans, snow peas, kale, peppers

Two plot trips this weekend.  Yesterday we made it out to the plot to see how things are doing.  It's nice to see that everything made it through recent rain reasonably well.  The tomatoes look fine.  Nothing fantastic or worthy of pictures.

I was happy to see that the green beans and snow peas are all coming up.

The kale has settled in pretty well.  Also worth noting is that some pepper plants are starting to develop flowers.  I'll be doing a separate post about what I'm going to try to encourage pepper growth this year.

Today I went out to the plot to do some work.  We purchased some organic plant starters this morning at a farmer's market.  As a result, I added three okra plants and four hot pepper plants to the plot.  The okra are in with the kale since I doubt the kale will develop due to warmer temperatures being here and the temps only getting hotter. 

I also added more beans (scarlet and green) and snow peas to fill in gaps where some just haven't come up.  I was quite pleased to see that many/most of the seeds I'd planted came up.  It was particularly gratifying given these were seeds we'd dried for the first time this past fall.

Lastly, I planted a few more tomatoes.  This time, I put them in pots.  I'd originally intended to put snow peas in there, however, with the extremely abbreviated spring, I decided I didn't want to waste time on that.  We also use a lot of tomatoes fresh, canned, stewed, and as pasta sauce.  We will certainly use them.

I'll be sure to take more pictures the next time I come out.
