May 27th- Hot & Sweet Pepper plants
Some of the peppers have been difficult for me. I had 3 varieties of hot pepper that needed to be planted 3 times before they would germinate! I still have the seedlings from those varieties in the house as they aren't ready to be planted.
May 27th- Hot & Sweet Pepper plants
I have orange sweet pepper seedlings ready to be planted in the garden soon. The first pair of seedlings died from damping off.

My husband and I made teepees for the pole beans and then planted a couple of beans at each leg.

All purchased from D. Landreth
There are also different varieties of head lettuce, 2 varieties of spinach & 1 variety of beet planted along the edges of the beds
