Considering how hot it is here in May, These vegetables are doing quite well since I posted the photos below on Instagram a couple weeks ago. It is late in the year to start many of these plants, but I am still hopeful. My recent YouTube video gives a better view of what I have growing.

I’ve been working in the garden this past couple weeks. I didn’t plan to grow a lot of annuals this season, but now that travel plans are on hold for a bit, I have more time. I also like having fresh veggies that I know haven’t been handled at the market during this pandemic. 🍅🍆🌶🥬🥕 #backyardgarden #permaculture #veganic #veganpermaculture #vegangarden #veganicallygrown #organicgardening #homegrown #homegrownveggies #growfoodnotlawn #veganliving

I also started some moringa seeds which have now been transplanted to the garden. I have more Kale and carrot seedlings to go in the ground as well. Soon I’ll be setting out the luffa, which will require a strong trellis.

Planted in April:

Lancinato Kale
Carrots
Canteloupe
Malabar spinach
Pigeon pea
Okra
Peppers
Tomatoes
Cilantro
Tatzoi
Mazuna
Purple Tomatillo
Long beans
Seminole pumpkin
Roselle
Cranberry hibiscus
Vegetable Amaranth

Harvested in April:

Arugula
Parsley
Mint
Basil
Oregano
Cranberry Hibiscus
Mazuna
Calamondin Oranges
Lemon grass

Normally I would have been harvesting much more in April. But as I mentioned before in one of my videos, I didn’t plan to start any spring plantings this year, since I’ve been so busy with the van and summer travel plans. I am glad I did though. These times are so uncertain while we still have the corona virus pandemic looming over us.
