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!

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.

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.
