Having a difficult time reducing pictures down to where the site will accept them. But over the past couple weeks I have been planting my garden.

So far, I have elephant garlic that is about 2 feet tall, regular garlic that is also about 2 feet tall. I planted the garlic in the fall and am really looking forward to the seed shoots that you cut as soon as they form flower heads and start to curl. They taste like garlic flavored asparagus. So good.

I also planted a bunch of Walla Walla sweet onions, 5 different types of tomatoes, radishes, 2 types of lettuce, sugar snap peas, 2 types of green beans, beets, carrots, tomatillos, artichokes, and the piece de resistance, PEPPERS. The peppers include jalapenos, giant Marconi, Poblanos, red habanero, red Ghost, and Trinidad Scorpions. I can feel the burn already.

@Selassie I and @Dagonet should appreciate the peppers.

I have a full tray (72 plants) of seedlings... all 72 have germinated and are going great. Soon I'll be planting those into some real soil and slowly begin the harding process to move them outside.

I've got 4 different kinds of cherry peppers, 3 different kinds of Thai, 2 different Japanese, 3 different cayenne, serrano, 4 kinds of habs/scotch bonnet from the Caribbean and a few others that are slipping my mind.

I really love growing my own peppers. Especially the ones that are not available in our grocery stores.

That elephant garlic spreads like crazy.

That elephant garlic spreads like crazy.

I know the regular garlic can. Hopefully we can contain this stuff. We don't plan on letting it go to seed except for maybe one head to use for planting next year. I'm going to try to be real careful also when digging the bulbs so as not to leave any parts of cloves behind.

Coming back from fishing yesterday I passed a roadside flower/plant stand and whipped a u turn and went back. Wife has kept a beautiful garden since we moved here over 20 years ago. (won ribbons for some of her flowers at the county fair here) After retiring I got her hooked on games on her tablet and she hasn’t given her flowers as much love. When we were cleaning out the garage, we came across several pots that used to have flowers in them on our back patio. So I figured she could poke around and find something she liked.

We picked out several batches and a hanging pot, don’t know what else to call them, and when we got home and ate lunch, I cut the grass, showered an napped a little.

By the time I got up, everything was planted, hung what ever lol

Gunna have to have some quiet time out there.
