This is a true story. Non-fiction. My garden in May is growing exactly like the seed packages promised. This truth shocks me each day. Always before, the idea of a garden filled with a bounty of vegetables, growing according to the seed package instructions, was purely fictional.
Mythical even.
My Serrano, jalapeño and bell peppers all seem to be thriving. Look at this bell pepper. It’s the size of my fist. It will be roasting on John’s Big Green Egg today.
My cucumbers are coming on! I plan to try my hand at canning these.
My first tomato harvest. These are Romas.
And check out my celery. It really looks like celery.
Last 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 they sprouted in three days. Wow. True story.
