Garden Update:

Here is a little update on the garden:
above- the peas are growing!

above: the radishes are growing-although I am leery of their success..we transplanted the plant the birch tree that was growing in the middle of them so it will be iffy.

above: the garlic, lettuce (hasn't come up yet from seed) and the peppers are going gangbusters!


above: the summer squashes (haven't sprouted yet), broccoli, cucumber and fingerling potato plant are thriving!

The Cherry Blossoms Are Here...

The cherry trees are blossoming!

This can only mean a couple things:

Out of town visitors are just around the corner,

Cherry Festival is in sight,

and summer fun is HERE!!! Woohoo to Summer!! Bring on the heatwave, fun in the sun and the cherries!!

Grow Garden Grow!

Maybe...

Possibly???

I hope so!!!

So here is a little update on my garden..as all plants and seeds are planted! I know a little before the Mother' Day deadline but we have been having great warm weather (70+ today!) and lots of rain so I figure it can't hurt. Plus, the seeds I have planted earlier in the month-peas, carrots and radishes are starting to come up! So here is the final tally of fruits & veggies we "should" have from our bountiful harvest sometime this summer: broccoli, yellow summer squash, zucchini, jalapeno, hot chili, and bell peppers, celery, green beans, carrots, Roma tomato, beef steak tomato, 3 types of lettuce, garlic, cucumber, radishes, pumpkins, strawberries, and mini watermelons!
