| Linda, Welcome to Southeast Idaho! I'm just north of you in Idaho Falls. Our climate is a bit more harsh. Usually we are about 2 weeks behind you. Today, I got the last of my warm weather vegetables in . . squash, cucumbers and I'm trying a melon, Minnesota Midget (small cantaloupes -- very early). I'm harvest lettuce & greens I planted from transplants. The first radishes are close. Everything is up except the green beans I put in a week ago. I'm kind of exited about my tomatoes this year. Usually I just grow Celebrity and Early Girl. This year I'm being a bit more adventurous --- added Black Krim (love the flavor) and Ida Gold (an early tomato from the University of Idaho). My garden is a bit interesting. My home faces north. My backyard is pretty shady. I have a garden on the West side that does pretty well but it is limited in size (about 15 ft by 25 ft.). I also have a raised planter behind my garage (that where the tomatoes, cucumbers and melons are). And, I use pots on my covered patio (early greens, peppers, a few flowers, etc.). Most of my sun is in the front. I mostly do flowers there. There year it is kind a cottage garden theme: butterfly flowers, snapdragons, zinnias, marygolds, lupins, lilies, etc. I also do a shade bed under one of my big blue spruces -- usually begonias, impatiens, hostas, etc. Not in yet. Hopefully this week. Steve |
