What an inspiring talk by Annemarie and Jeff from Berryman Farms in Greenwood last night at Garden Club. Annemarie has so much knowledge, she has been growing heritage veg for 35 years. Only bought one tomato, an indeterminate Roma type - Amish Paste. Will definitely have to stop by their farm next time we head to Nelson.
Planted our seeded plants out today - eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and celery. I am really hoping that one of the eggplants will be an Indian one. They got a bit mixed up in the seed trays! Still have to prick the leeks out and do second seedings of carrots, radish, beets. 
Tried the first Icicle Radish yesterday - excellent, nice and sharp, clean bite with good spice.
I think I can start to seed part of the cutting garden, since we almost have a meeting of the minds as to how that area of the garden should proceed! I would still like to work in a dry stream bed look, but my opinion isn't counting!!

 
 
I was hoping for a more mixed crop of lettuce but the fact that we are producing enough lettuce to take it off our shopping list is awesome. Next sowing will have more red leaves and some more peppery varieties. I am interested in finding ground cress seeds, which are available in UK. Tastes like water cress but grows on land. Pepper, tomato and cucumber seedlings are coming right along too. Maybe a bit cool and early even in the new upstairs greenhouse, but we are going to give it a try.
