Garden is in and good rainfall this past week almost everything has sprouted... my pot of callaloo, thanks ms exced, is looking promising. Need to go back to the green house for few perennials, 3 shrubs and a few annuals. Need to go pick up tomato and pepper at the organic market if my body allows me during lunch tomorrow.

Vegetable garden plants:

• four tomato
• 2 cucumber
• 2 Jamaican pumpkin (brought seeds from Jamaica in April)
• callaloo, of course (Kia's Franken-callaloo already reach breakfast plate, planted seeds from Jamaica and they are sprouting and need some thinning out)
• Just today saw the scotch bonnet seedlings sprout -thought I had lost them. Couple more weeks I'll transfer to vegetable bed

In pots/planters are:

• Thyme
• oregano
• greek basil
• chives
• swiss chard (dem look pyaw pyaw)
• Jamaican ginger - 3 likkle plants come up from 3 piecea ginger mi bring back from Ja

Peppermint and spearmint come up and is like ground cover under maple tree. Mint tea mek nuff times and neighbors helping themselves to it.

Training two clematis to grow up on pergola Early Spring planting of evergreen shrubs (for year round backyard privacy) looking like they'll make it - English laurel, nandina, euyonemous, and rhododendron.

Will be in yard all day tomorrow weeding out flower beds

Giving thanks for the rain.

Love,

Peasie
