This is the last time you'll see the 2021 vegetable garden plot without anything growing in it —at least until October or November. I hope.
For the past few days, Walt has been busy raking in soil amendments, configuring soaker hoses, and planting seedlings.
He set out 16 tomato plants. They had grown big in the greenhouse and some of them already had blossoms on them.
He also set out 10 Tuscan kale seedlings. They grew from seeds that I planted many months ago.In the past, this variety of kale has grown well for us.

ReplyDeleteCalembours, puns or play on words are a dubious French specialty.
Do the vines in the first photo ever bear any edible grapes?
DeleteI already can see a lot of fruits and vegetables in your future.
Once in a while we get a bunch or two of grapes. I think the problem is that those vines are basically in the shade all day. And the grapes are not even very good. We are gradually getting rid of the vines, as they die. And meanwhile, we pick leaves to make Greek-style dolmas.
DeleteJe suis sûr que tes calembours/jeux de mots dépassent largement les compétences linguistiques de la plupart des lecteurs de ce blog.
Ça, c'est très vraisemblable. C'est la première chose qui m'est venue à l'esprit quand j'ai ouvert ton billet! J'ai trouvé que c'était rigolo!
DeleteJ'ai trouvè ceci sur le net.
DeleteMerci du lien. Je n'y ai pas trouvé ce calembour culinaire, Un bon navet rôti en vaut deux!
DeleteJe vois dans la liste : Un bon clavier azerty en vaut deux. La cuisine est tellement vieux jeu. On vit dans l'âge de l'informatique.
DeleteThose young tomato plants look very healthy. Here’s to a bountiful garden!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks good!
ReplyDeleteThat Tuscan kale looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteHaving spent the first 20 years of my life in eastern North Carolina, I learned to love collard greens. Tuscan (a.k.a. "dinosaur") kale more closely resembles collards in texture and taste than do other kale varieties. I'm also trying to grow some turnip greens this year. The seeds have sprouted but the seedlings are not yet ready to be planted outdoors.
