The day started off with Brunch at the new local place Daily Grub. [http://dailygrubomaha.com/] We both had waffles. I had the PB&J, Mom had Elvis topping (thick berry smoothie). Afterwards we walked around the new Mid-town crossing complex. Then it was time to work in the garden.
The beans are literally growing before our eyes! It’s amazing to see them unfurl and grow leafs. The second sets of onions are also popping out of the ground. The lettuce and spinach are growing like gang busters. We discovered the best way to eat the greens is to let them crisp in the fridge for a day after picking so they have a nice crunch.
Can you see it growing?
The theme of the day turned into transplanting. We transplanted 10 volunteer tomatoes into plastic packs. We are hoping that they are 6 yellow pear and 4 brandywine or Amish paste tomatoes. We also transplanted little broccolis that I started from seed. Five went into the box gardens and the other three stayed in the pot to grow larger. The seedlings do not look strong so hopefully they will toughen up and start growing strong. The front yard vegetable this year is peppers! We planted two red peppers and one Jalapeño in front of the ferns. And the first beet has shown its self.
