Garden update


The garden is coming along nicely this year, especially with all of this sunshine. We have a strawberry patch on the north side of the backyard, and more strawberries, flowers, rhubarb, herbs, zucchini, and several heirloom tomato plants in the backyard garden. I've harvested about 3 pints of strawberries so far, and it will be about 2-3 pints a week for the next month at least! Strawberries are my most favorite food, so Dave is luck if he gets to them before me! (i think i ate a pint today~)



In our raised beds, I made things easy by growing lots of greens (salad mix, arugula, lettuce, spinach, kale, bok choi), radishes, fennel, and zucchini from seed along side our 4 blueberry bushes. Now that everything is set and growing, it's all about keeping things watered, weeded, and thinned out.

Sounds like things are off and running!
We've only had about 6 strawberries ripe so far...I can't believe how many you have.
How delicious!!!
