In 5 days, the first day of spring will be here. The garden is in full swing!

Tomatoes are in their prime growing time…with lots of new growth. Roma tomatoes, heirloom rainbow tomatoes, and large cherry tomatoes are all producing. Pineapple tomatoes and Black Krim varieties have been planted and are growing to their producing stage. We’ve focused most of our varieties in the greenhouse as the tomatoes seem to thrive in the environment.

Garlic, onions, and shallots are about two months from the end of the growing season. We are looking forward to harvesting and seeing if the cooler winter weather here in the south paid off.

The potatoes we planted in December spring back after the freeze. I haven’t peeked into the soil to see if there are indeed potatoes growing, but surely with all of these flowers there must be something there!

Kale, mustard greens, and fennel are really enjoying the end of the winter season here in Texas.

And finally, our Persian lime tree is blooming and producing! The snapdragons and bachelors buttons are also loving the beautiful weather.

Always the garden helper, Bo enjoys inspecting the greenery and flowers.
