Tiny beans

A picture of bean seedlings.  We'll see what variety a little later.

Cabbage

I think that this is a baby cabbage.

Celery

Last year I h

ad three celery plants.  Miraculously, they overwintered.  Perhaps it's because they're grown here in NJ.  In the old days, around Jersey City, NJ, there was a town called Celeryville.  It needs lots of water and a long, cool growing season.  Its roots are very shallow, so it isn't happy when it runs dry.  The stalks get stringy.  This spring, my celery came back and as I was weeding around it, I noticed that it had lots of bunches.  I thought I would take a few out and replant.  They seem to be doing fine, next to the potatoes.

Garlic

Garlic is a wonderful plant to grow. In the fall, around October here in NJ, you start with a bulb, divide it up into cloves and plant each clove about 6 inches apart. Cover with soil and mulch it. Let it percolate over winter and in the spring you will see new shoots. It's almost mid-May now and they continue to grow leaves. I keep looking for a garlic scape but non so far.
