Garden Log For 4 30 2026

Went into the big box up front today:

  • Golden beets, 1 row
  • 4 “Moneymaker” tomatoes 🍅
  • 4 Ancho peppers 🌶️
  • 2 rows of Danvers carrots 🥕
  • 1 row of “Cosmic Red” carrots 🥕
  • 3 Dino Kale 🥬
  • 2 Curly Kale 🥬
  • Yellow short feller (4”ish) type sunflowers 🌻
  • Nasturtiums

Went into the little box up front:

  • 4 bell peppers 🫑
  • 1 watermelon 🍉
  • Nasturtiums

Went into the front lawn:

  • Red sunflowers [replacements for the ones that failed there previously] 🌻

Went into the empty bag in the back:

  • 3 acorn squash

Went into rear rose bed:

  • 2 Amaranth

Went into the rear driveway flower bed:

  • Zinnias (replacing the ones that at first seemed to be doing great but mysteriously disappeared)
  • Removed one Pearly Everlasting because it was in a very dumb spot and not having a good time

Noticed:

  • The outer circumference of the large bag out back has numerous alliums of unknown type in reasonable positions, so that area is active
    • There also appear to be a few carrots growing in a tiny sliver of this inner circle, which is cute
  • There are definitely some onions growing in the far back of the rear large wide bed
  • Also definitely successful I wanna say shallots in the rear small wide bed which currently has last year’s leeks growing there

Notes:

  • I still have celosia seeds that will need a home
  • I would love to find a rear location for another watermelon plant
  • I cut back every green that needed cutting back, which was Gourmet Greens, Spinach (baby sized leaves), and Arugula and made a lil salad for myself of just the leaf mix and evoo + s&p, it was very tasty, but not that filling. The Gourmet Greens were definitely the star. Very good loose leaf lettuce. All the heads are doing well but they need more time
