The potatoes in the tower have all sprouted and are looking good:
We took chicken wire and zip tied it into a cylinder. We lined the bottom with garden fabric and tied it to the sides of the chicken wire.
The tower was filled with approx 8 inches of organic top soil and we planted the seed potatoes in the soil, then mulched the top with straw. After about 10-14 days, we began to see sprouts!
We also planted some potatoes in a mound in the ground, which seem to be growing a bit slower. There is only one bush of sprouts.
All of the peas have sprouted and are doing great!
The beans have sprouted but are going just a bit slow this year, and the zucchini is in the ground but we haven't had much sun since we put them in so they are a bit slow right now too.
The zucchini on the left was started a few weeks earlier. The ones on the right are growing slow!
Peonies and Green onions are growing like crazy though!
The rhubarb transplant took well and is growing well also.
I bought a blueberry plant and will plant it in a few days. I'm very excited, as I've wanted one for quite a while! I will update once I've got it in the ground. I have learned I should protect it with a net of some sort as the birds like the berries!
And last, here is a photo of my peppers and tomatoes in the greenhouse. I leave the flap open most days. The tomatoes will need to move soon to the ground or bigger pots!
