Detroit Red Beets, planted a little too close, so I will have an excuse to take thinnings for salads and roasted baby beets.
Picasso Shallots. Next year I will be smarter and divide the bulbs before planting them. I just put them in the ground as is, as though i was planting tulips. Learning, learning, learning...
A Mammoth Grey sunflower seedling and an Alderman shell pea. As the sunflowers grow to about 12' (TWELVE FEET!)tall, they will support the pea vines. They are planted all along our front deck to provide shade from the afternoon sun. Really I just wanted to plant giant flowers to amaze Miss Critterpants. The peas and the shade are happy coincidences.
