This weekend had been lovely gardening time. And the earwigs have thought it a good time to feast, too. They mowed down my, grown from seed, tomato plants. I did have two volunteers from last years tomato bed so those have been transplanted into the new bed. They are probably either Brandywines, Cherokee Purples, or San Marzanos. I also bought several plants in pint pots. Two plants are sauce types, San Marzano and Amish Paste. One, a red grape type, Sweet Olive, is the only hybrid in the bunch. Another is a small yellow tomato and the fruits is 1.5 to 2 inch fruit, Yellow Perfection. I also put in two plants of a variety known as Druzba, a Bulgarian heirloom slicer booked as a having perfect form, a long season, deep red juicy 10 inch tomato.
Today, I picked spinach and we had an egg scramble with spinach and salsa over hot tortillas for breakfast. I will harvest a head of celery for soup and the very first artichoke to make this evening's light meal. We will be having a big Easter lunch with Francesca.
The iris are now my featured bloomers and the apricot tree has a bumper crop of fruit - if it only remains to harvest!
