Terra Firma: Adventures in Organic Urban Gardening: how my garden grows

Kale, swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, chives, parsley and PEAS are thriving in the garden and on the dinner plate. Our zone 7b climate is by now quite lush and we've had our first set of days in the 90s. I'm hoping the weather will stay cool enough to keep enjoying the lettuces, spinach and peas that faded so quickly with the heat last year. I've already had a lot more greens this year and we've been freely enjoying salads from the garden.

Tomatoes are in the ground and starting to bloom. I've been sharing the left over plants with anyone and everyone that I can interest. There's only a handful left and it's been loads of fun to find homes for the others. It's amazing how many tomato seeds, plants and fruit that can be shared from just a few packs of seeds. I love it and happy to get others involved!
