Garden Update May 6, 2014

It's been a busy weekend in the garden. I tilled the tomato row and covered it with a new black cloth as well as planter the first four tomato plants. I got these as a steal for $2 each at home depot. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that I did not plant these out too early. 

I also had a nice daffodil "harvest" and was particularly excited that the Tahiti Daffodils came back this year. They are my faves! I also planted some Thai basil in the community plot as well as four little pots on my patio.

Huzzah! This is the first flower I've seen this year. I'm not quite sure when this was planted, but I'm guessing it's been at least 2 months. This flower is an amaryllis but I'm not sure what variety. I'm also excited to go back to the garden and am just hoping that the daffodils are  now blooming.

Finally feels like Spring.

Patio Garden 3/10/14

Not much here right now. It's kind of sad to see my patio so empty. I'm very excited for the daffodils, tulips, and crocus to start blooming. I did find that the tulips we're getting a head start.

Forcing Daffodils Indoors

These are leftovers from the daffodil bulbs planted in the fall. I am curious to see if they make any progress in water. Keep in mind that they have not been exposed to the required extreme cold.
