Basil-to-be!
Starting several varieties ( maybe not in this order; Thai, Holy, lemon, lettuce leaf, spicy globe, , purple, Genovese?) in an Aerogarden.
Some did better than others.

Do you like the Aerogarden? Do you use it a lot? Would you buy it again?

Which potato varietals are you growing this summer?
I’m growing La Ratte Fingerlings and I’m blanking on the name of my red skinned potatoes
I also have some seed potatoes from the variety I grew last year.
Beyond typical North American varieties, I mostly can find Dutch and French specialty seed potatoes at garden centres near me.

I hear good things about La Ratte! I think I grew them once, but with my usual limited success with potatoes. It gets hot so quickly in the “spring” here. I am about to harvest my potatoes, which I started in early February and March.
I grew “Red Thumb”, “Austrian Crescent”, both early to mid fingerlings, and a third early red one called “Purple Viking”.
I “robbed” the fingerlings about two weeks ago.

Cherry harvest this year, the taste and productivity is getting better each year. Less firm and a bit more sour than the bought ones.

I discovered Lee Valley many years ago. I love them. I’ve had to check myself so many times to keep from buying wonderful things from their kitchen and garden departments due to loving things but not needing them.
I love that basket, have for a long time.

First tomatoes; Dwarf Gloria’s Treat.
Just in time, as it will be too hot to set fruit for the next several days.

Updates! I used some of these bunching onions today. The greens are huge, and I hope I am using them right in this green seasoning.

Very inspiring! I only got my tomatoes into the ground last weekend and now this week it’s been getting down to 7-8C at night still! My breba figs never amount to anything and I must remember to just pluck them off to not waste the plant’s energy. The fig also just went outside last weekend and there are another dozen or so figs on it. Will keep it well watered and hope for the best.

My tomatoes are starting to fruit - Early Girl has several fruits and Golden Boy just developed a couple in the last two days. Copious flowers on Cherokee Purple, so I’m hoping for fruit there soon too. Black Krim, Mortgage Lifter, Old German, Brandywine and Jubilee are taking their time, but they do all have a few blossoms. Whee! Now to keep the deer from treating them like their own personal salad bar.
