Welcome June 2011

The garden is slowly growing. We've had lots of rain but not much warmth and sunshine. I did pick all of the spinach last week and ate a salad of spinach and radishes. I still need to plant a bit more ---- but other garden plots are very happy!

Tomatillos

I planted the tomatillos on Friday May 21. Luckily it became sunny on Saturday and then lots of rain again. Today was a sunny day and they look very happy. I look forward to trying some recipes later this summer!

rain....and a duck

It's been RAINING for four days straight. A rainy day is a good day to be a duck. This morning two ducks walked through the garden.



After watching the ducks pass through, I planted my two tomatillos and one yellow pepper plant. A fellow gardener and I picked some radishes. And here are some beautiful mustard greens from a neighboring planter!



We are hoping for some sunny weather to dry out! The herb garden is on hold.

First radish harvest

I planted the radishes on March 25. And here is the first harvest! I had two of them with my lunch today ---- yummy! Vegetables taste better when they are home grown. Seven weeks of patience.

Weclome May 2011!

April showers bring green and happy plants! This is a collage of radishes, peas, tomato, and strawberry plants. May has brought sunny and warm days after a very cold and wet April.

end of April

It's been a month since we planted. If you look close, you can see baby beets appearing through the soil. A year ago we just placed the soil in the boxes...and now I have my second crop slowly growing.

Seeds are bursting out!

It is always fun to go to the garden and see what's new. Today another group box (HEE) had the peas popping out!



There are just a few spinach and beets sprouting, but the radishes are growing bigger each day!
