A little garden update for a Thursday evening(reworked and re-posted). In the photo below, the 1/2 row on the upper right is the radishes. I thinned those out a couple of days ago and that will be the first batch if I can actually get them to form a proper bulb. I failed on that a couple of years ago.
The two half rows on the lower right are carrots and green onions and those are just barely starting to show.

The next row to the left of the carrots is 1/2 green beans and 1/2 peas. Both have popped up in the last two days and should be ready to thin out this weekend
I decided on small wire hoops to support the peppers. I don't have a lot of experience growing peppers because usually the terrorist bunnies have chowed them down by now. I'm guessing that those hoops will be needed and will work.
The indeterminate tomato plants, the Better Boy and Supersweet 100, got stakes for support. The Celebrity plants, which can be pruned, got taller hoops. And the four La Roma plants(determinate) got the four sided cages. I haven't used hoops and cages before for tomatoes, so I'll be interested to see if they save some hassle of tying plants to stakes. I'm going to pay more attention this year to see if larger and more expensive cages for the indeterminates will be worth the investment.
No bunny damage inside the wire yet. Not even an attempt to dig under the fence.
It's quiet out there.
Too quiet. ;)
