Due to vacations and traveling, the garden has exploded with green-ness. Granted some of that green is weeds but much of it is not.
This is a mass of pole and bush beans that are just starting to flower.
The broccoli and cabbage started from seed has really taken root. Keep your fingers crossed that THIS will be the year we get broccoli to sprout.
Lots of snow and snap peas coming in. SO good in salads.
Now THIS is a lettuce bed!
The Russian kale is doing well, we just have to eat it up before it gets too hot and bolts. After having made an awesome kale salad, I decided I don't like the Russian kale as well as standard curly kale. I've noted that for future seed purchases.
The chard that Tom painstakingly uncovered is just about ready for a first harvest.
The cucumber plants are still small but as I looked under the leaves I say blossoms which means cucs aren't too far away!
Tom pulled out the Mantis Tiller to weed two small areas in beds 3 and 4. It made quick work of the job.
Once the weeds were out, he planted all of the tomato and peppers seedlings which means our summer garden is official planted!
THE RASPBERRIES ARE HERE! THE RASPBERRIES ARE HERE!
I started a lot of herbs in pots but only the dill and thyme sprouted. So I planted those two (too small to see in this picture) along with basil, cilantro, chive, and parsley seeds. Basil has done well in the past started in pots, but it just didn't sprout this year. Although I like getting a jump on the season, it may be best to stick to planting herbs direct. They don't want to come up until it's super hot outside anyway so it may be just as effective to wait. The large plant you see here is the oregano that came back on its own.
And of course the standard dogs-enjoying-the-shade photo.
