How is your garden going? Mine is going strong, and I'm excited to hear my colleagues here at KVUE tell me about their gardens.
One of our producers is growing his tomatoes, herbs and peppers in pots outside of his rental home, and he tells me everything is growing well.
And KVUE's Amy Johnston, who just started her own garden this year, surprised me at work the other day when she brought veggies to share.
Are those onions beautiful or what?! She also brought me tomatoes, but I didn't have a chance to take a picture of them before they were quickly devoured by my tomato-eating son. We enjoyed all three tomatoes in an egg scramble the same night they arrived, and they were sweet, juicy and delicious.
These are some of the ripening tomatoes in my garden. I haven't been able to bring any of them inside yet. As soon as they ripen they have been eaten... by my tomato-loving son. So I'm not complaining. He's enjoying them.
Sorry about the poor picture quality, but this was the best shot I got of my peppers. I was shocked to find nearly all of my plants have at least one pepper on them -- even the scrawny ones I started from seed that barely grew 6 inches. These peppers are poblanos I think -- definitely not jalapeno.
I guess is just goes to show how easy peppers are to grow. And I didn't get a good picture -- but the tomatillos are going crazy. They are covered with little husked fruit. Thiose are so easy to grow, they're practically weeds. I found a volunteer over the the strawberry bed -- and it has fruit. MMMMMMMMM... verde salsa.
This is another veggie that is producing a lot and none of the fruit has made it inside -- green beans. My son hates them cooked, but he's thrilled to eat them off the vine. It's fun for him to find them and pull them off. And that's good enough for me.
And check out that tiny little ear of corn. It probably won't be big enough to do much with -- but it's growing! So fun.
