I examined the tomato plants tonight and found a tiny tomato starting on one of the Chadwick cherry plants... then I looked at the Flamme and saw an almost dime sized tomato!

A photo showing the first tomatoes of the year. They are small and green but Soon! they will be orange and delicious. There are two tomatoes about dime sized, and a few yellow blossoms beyond them. They are Flamme, an indeterminate on-the-vine type of tomato that are small and orange.

I finally got around to planting carrots in a pot. Nantes Half Long.The bottom soil is pretty dry so it's soaking in a tub overnight. I picked up the potted marigolds that were spread about the garden, I have 10 feet of them, or 22 plus 1 tomato volunteer and 1 clump of oregano. The two squash beds are ready for planting with most of the lumpy goose manure having soaked up the water and softened.

An old gray plastic pot sitting in a plastic tub trug that has had carrot seeds planted in it. There is a pile of chicken compost and leaves beyond it along with a smaller black nursery pot growing nothing or weeds. Some old chimney bricks to the upper right of it.A photo showing raised beds in a garden. The one in the foreground has 5 bell peppers, 4 jalapeno peppers, and 2 eggplants planted in it. Along it's right edge are 23 small round white plastic pots that have had marigold volunteer plants placed in most of them. The two far pots have a volunteer tomato from a Orange tangerine hybrid, and a clump of volunteer oregano.A photo of a raised bed that has had goose manure added to it to fill it up.This bed will have two bush acorn and two bush butternut squash planted in it. The manure consists of poo, feathers, dirt, rocks, and probably a bunch of weed seed. Beyond the bed is half of a blue 55 gallon drum used as a planter. It has marigolds, oregano, and a volunteer tomato growing in it. In the upper left is a big coil of poly irrigation pipe and beyond that are two metal trash cans with holes in them trying to be composters.The other raised bed with goose manure added to it. This one has 4 stakes in it to mark where the summer squash and zucchini will be planted. There is a raised bed of arugula, spinach and radish to the right. There is a hollyhock growing out of the ground on the right side of the squash bed.

Sucrosomial iron

Sucrosomial iron is a new oral iron preparation containing ferric pyrophosphate covered by phospholipids plus sucrose ester of fatty acid matrix. This allows the molecule to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract by trans-cellular, para-cellular and M-cells independently of hepcidin and due to gastro-resistant properties, it does not cause the side effects such as gastric irritation which is commonly associated to oral iron.

Peas, peppers, and beets. The Red Marconi peppers that started on the year old plant indoors are getting bigger and there's a few started on the new plants along with the bell peppers and jalapenos. Peas and beets are growing good too. Potted up marigolds and moved hollyhocks from the squash beds yesterday and topped them up with goose manure this morning. Might plant summer and winter squash tomorrow if it's not too windy.

A sugar snap pea pod with the sun shining from behind it that reveals the peas growing inside it.A 1 year old pepper plant with some peppers on it. It was over-wintered indoors under lights. Most of the peppers that started indoors a month or more ago won't get very big but some of the later blooms since it was warmer will produce decent size peppers. They are sweet peppers that will be red when ripe.A photo showing the raised bed that has beets and peas in it. Cucumbers will be planted in it when they are ready to go outside but only 4 plants. There is a 10-line cattle panel above the bed to act as a trellis. There's some blue stripe poly irrigation piping on the trellis and trailing off onto the ground to the left.
