Since the rainy season has started, I havn’t had to do much with the little garden I planted a couple of weeks ago. I try to pull weeds whenever I’m out in the back yard, because those suckers grow SO fast this time of year, but other then that, it has been very easy. The spicy lettuce mix that I planted has done very well and is very tasty. These pictures were taken after I have already used some of the baby lettuce for salads, and there is still plenty left.
Lots of lettuce in 20 days!
I thinned out the lettuce, again.
Salad time!
Delicious!
As you can see, the lettuce grows wonderfully here in Puerto Rico! I highly recommend the spicy mesculin mix from seedsofchange.com.
The heirloom tomatoes I planted are growing well, although they are slow. The chives are a little weak looking, but hopefully they will buck up. The edamame (soy bean) plants are also doing really really well. I saw their first furry little pods yesterday. The purple bellpepper is also slow to start, but it looks like they are going to make it. For the little effort this little garden takes, I am so happy with it so far!! I can’t wait until we get some of those heirloom tomatoes…mmmmmmmmm!
