This is a true story. Non-fiction.ย My garden in May is growing exactlyย like the seed packages promised. This truth shocks me each day.ย Always before, the idea of a garden filled with a bounty of vegetables, growing according to the seed packageย instructions, wasย purely fictional.
Mythical even.
My Serrano, jalapeรฑo and bell peppersย all seem to be thriving. Look at this bell pepper. It’s the size of my fist.ย It will be roasting on John’sย Big Green Egg today.
My cucumbers are coming on! I plan to try my handย at canning these.
My first tomato harvest. These are Romas.
And check outย my celery. It really looks like celery.
Lastย week I harvested the last of my onions, a few more radishes, added fertilizer and I’ve been topping off my Ollas every two-three days.
I planted okra seeds and theyย sprouted in three days. Wow. True story.

Maybe you should try your hand planting cotton, soybeans, and rice. Your daddy would be so proud that you are gardening now.
I think we’ll stick with Ron for that:)
Great job Talya! I can see why it would put a smile on your face. Your celery is gorgeous and the way celery should look, unlike that stuff in the produce aisle.
Thanks Colene!
Your garden is lovely! I am still filling up my little containers with plants and hoping that they all make it. Oh to have a garden as beautiful as yours!
Thank you Mindy. I do a lot of herbs in containers.
