Golden Sweet Pear
The Tomato Bed
Two weekends ago, we added our first batch of tomato plants:
3 Sweet Golden Pears
2 Golden Jubilee
1 Juliet
2 Tami G
2 Super Sweet 100s
Elsewhere on the deck, we planted one cinnamon basil, one sweet basil, one rosemary and one chocolate mint. Then, this last weekend we finished up the tomato bed with another set of plants:
2 Black Krim
2 Purple Cherokee
2 Black Cherry Tomatoes
2 Sun Gold
The extra tomato plants went into the second bed. They joined an additional 2 basil plants, a mesclun salad seed mix, red habanero seeds, and coriander/cilantro seeds. And, we added curly parsley and Italian flat leaf parsley to the deck.
Black Mission Fig Baby Tree With Herbs
The existing thyme, marjoram and Greek oregano bed is doing quite well. My two rosemary bushes are doing beautifully. But, the two raspberry sprouts and two seedless blackberries are struggling to survive. The vine sprouts are each less then 12 inches tall at this point.
Both peach trees are doing well. The dwarf is growing slowly (but, very shapely) while the white princess has already grown about an additional 1/4 of it’s pre-winter size. The White Princess is a bit gangly and uneven. But, it appears to be very healthy.
The apricot is bud-less and struggling to survive. The flaming peach is about the same size as last year. It’s barely grown at all in 2 years. Each branch has gained less than 5 inches in those two years. But, it was briefly covered in pretty little pink buds this year.
