Garden Update

I believe these little seedlings have been in the ground about 2 weeks now and they are coming along quite nicely.
Here are the red cabbage plants they are the slowest to get going I am not sure why, as I have never grown cabbage before.
Baby Tomato plants. These are heirloom and I am hoping that the season will be long enough to get tomatos off of these plants. The plant in the front seems to show some signs of stress and I am assuming it is due to the weather, although the other two seem to be fine. I will keep watching it and adjust as needed.
Anthony's pepper plants are all planted and sitting in the sun! I am hoping that having them in pots will help keep them warm enough. I used mushroom compost in the pot and on top as mulch so I think that will help too.Are lonely Artichoke! I love Artichokes, so I am hoping to get a few!
Here is the brassica bed, it is coming along nicely. The purple Brussel Sprouts seem to be growing the best, which I am VERY pleased about.
My first planting of peas was a COMPLETE flop. Who messes up growing peas...aparently I DO! One of three things could have happened, either I planted them to deep, the seeds were bad or lastly in the monsoon we had they could have gone bad. So I replanted some new seeds in hopes to get peas this year!
In the meantime the lettuce and radishes are coming along nicely. Hoping to have fresh salads soon. YUM!
Well there is the garden so far. I am hoping to plant potatoes and onions this weekend. Anthony will be home to help with Aiden, which will free me up to be outside in the dirt! YAY!
