Seed Collecting

Chires baby corn - I let them dry, scraped all the kernals off, and now they are ready for popping.
Basil seeds I think.
Lettuce seeds
Radish seeds
Watermelon Seeds
Fava Beans (good nitrogen fixer)

Peppers
Roman Candle Tomato
Golden giant amaranth

Much pondering in the garden.

Potatoes on the right. Guess they aren't supposed to be so close to the tomatoes.

Field Trip

Today was an exciting day in the yarden. I had my first drive by visitors. A minivan full of kids with two adults drove by, stopped, backed up, parked and unloaded. They asked if they could walk around. I was thrilled! So I chatted and chatted and showed them everything, they ended up with enough stuff to have a meal, lol. They are from a local school and have planted their own garden recently. They took pictures and will feature my garden in their newsletter. :) So cute. I invited them to come back in a couple weeks when the tomatoes will be going CRAZY.
