All 4 potato buckets have at least one sprout coming up now, yay!
Each bucket had 5 potatoes in so I'm hoping a few more will start sprouting, and then I just need to wait for them to grow a bit and cover them with more dirt.
Peppers! The plants seem to be doing well and I have a few peppers coming in. I got all different types some sweet and some hot (I don't like hot but Andrew my oldest is a hot sauce nut so maybe he'll like them), but I might not be entirely sure which ones are which now. Oops.
Tomatoes, really only one plant has produced anything so far. I think it's the cherry tomato plant. Strawberries. There were only planted 4 days ago as bare root plants, but out of 25 I have about 7 that are showing signs of life with growth so far.
Growing some romaine lettuce from seed, these have just been hanging out in my house on the windowsill so far.
And lastly the citrus trees and pineapple. The pineapple is just the top off a fresh pineapple I bought from the store for the kids to eat, and planted. I don't expect to get a pineapple from it for several years but I thought it would be fun anyway. I also have a guava tree, the one little guava on it was already there when I bought the tree. I really have no idea what guavas should look like so I should probably research that. And lastly my calamondin citrus tree. I think these are supposed to be more ornamental than anything but it produces fruit that is a bit like a large kumquat apparently. Sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. I may make some marmalade or something from them when they are ripe, at the moment I just have a lot of very small green ones.
