Kinda, Sorta on Schedule

We've been a tad behind getting all the beds dug and planted {third year in a row, I'd say we're well on our way to making that a trend}, but we only have one and half to floof up and three to plant. Not so bad I suppose.

In the beds that are done we currently have:

Hobo Turnips
Giant Red Mustard
Dinosaur Kale
"Devon" Peas
Peas for Peace
Blue Jay Bush Beans
Contender Bush Beans
Tanya's Pink Podded Bush Beans
Purple Mustache Pole Beans
French Climbing Pole Beans
Russian Mammoth Sunflowers
Henri Wild Sunflowers
Autumn Sunset Sunflowers
Acorn Squash
Buttercup Squash
Blue Hubbard Squash
Small Sugar Pumpkins
Strange Zucchini
Pink Lady Tomatoes {which was accidental, I thought it was an "Old Timer"}
Old Timer Tomatoes
Roma Tomatoes
Yellow Pear Tomatoes

{peas, kale, mustard, and hobo turnips}

Once we finish the rest of the beds we will be planting cantaloupes, melons, nasturtiums, more pole beans and sunflowers, and probably more hobo turnips. There is enough room in one of the already cultivated beds for more tomatoes and some basil too.

We finally got the plant part of our order from Richters, and considering they travelled through the post, I think they look pretty good. They just need some time to settle in.

We've got a whole bunch of stuff growing in containers too, which seem to be doing well.

We recently planted wild tobacco {Nicotiana rustica} and tatters {Norland & Burbank Russet}, along with some flowers, herbs, and other veggies.

The "garden" and "lawn" in the front was quite neglected last year when we moved in, and I suspect it had been that way for quite a few years before that. It is still pretty though and there are a whole bunch of useful and luverly plants that are growing in the front.

And I will be able to do my first real harvest of herbs soon{by the looks of it: lemon balm, spearmint, peppermint, thyme, oregano, motherwort, chamomile and sweet woodruff}! :D
