The tomatillos. “Mexican Strain” on the left. “De Mipa” on the right. Very different growing habits, the “Mexican Strain” is way beefier and is much more upright. I think they’re ahead of where they were last year:

The Oregon Spring tomatoes are moving right along. I’ll dose all the tomatoes tomorrow with Calcium Nitrate to discourage blossom end rot. (It just started raining again as I type this.):
An overview. Tomatoes on the left with the zucchini near the house. In the foreground is the basil, peppers, and brussels sprouts under the tulle. In front of the door are the tomatillos. To the right of the tomatillos are the cucumbers:
And as promised, a girl cat picture. Here she is watching a show about bicycling. Bicycles were zipping by the camera, which was infinitely interesting to her. I think this guy owns a shop or something:
