The garden is coming along very well!!!!!

I've been planting and planting and planting!!!!
This is what it looks like right now:

Radishes (first batch ready for harvest around 4/28/12)

Black Seeded Lettuce (ready for harvest around 5/21/12)

White Sweet Onion (ready for harvest around 7/25/12)
These are barely coming up as they were planted from seeds not bulbs like the red onions.

Giant Caesar Lettuce (ready for harvest around 6/15/12)
Photobucket

Red Onions (a couple batches - to be harvested after the top growth has fallen)  I bought a bag of 200 bulbs and used most of them in the raised bed and three different containers.
Photobucket

Green Beans (ready for harvest around 6/5/12)
Photobucket

4 Roma Tomato Plants (ready for harvest around 6/25/12)
Photobucket

Carrots (ready for harvest around 6/20/12)
Mixed Bell Peppers (ready for harvest around 6/20/12) - these and the carrots were just planted from seeds today, so it will be a week or two until we see anything.

I've also got Russet seed potatoes cut and they will be planted by the end of the week.  I'll also be planting a couple more batches of radishes and carrots.

The Roma tomatoes, Garden Salsa Peppers, White and Red Onions and Cilantro will all be use to make homemade SALSA!!!!  I have a feeling I'll have tons, so will also try my hand at canning this year - both the salsa and diced/stewed tomatoes, maybe green beans if I have a lot.  I still have some green bean seeds left, so I may plant some more, we'll see.
