Garden

I haven't forgotten about my garden or you! I have been at the Outer Banks!


Ok! Garden!

June 23:


Look at it go! You can really see all the lettuces big and scrumptious and the potatoes at the back left really shot up!


In the passed three weeks:
Something ate all the riping strawberries!
All the beans are up
Both potato plants are sprouting
Eggplant has a few little blooms
Thinned summer squash. 2 have flowers
Thinned spinach. It's trying hard to be sumptuous again
Onions going strong
1 head of lettuce died. the other 2 are flourishing
all 6 leaf lettuces are gorgeous and giant
herbs are amazing. made sage & thyme biscuits today
Blackberry bush had one flower. The branch was broken off! Rabbits?
Blackberry bush has many new little flower sprouts
Pepper plant JUST revealed its tiny little flower bulbs
Roma tomato plant growing a bunch! none red

BONUS: A mystery plant started growing by the strawberries. It looked an awful lot like the potato plants next to it, despite only planting two potatoes. Realization: The strawberry plant is on top of the former compost hole. I guess a potato escaped and is now growing!! wow!

I ate my first strawberry and found a rock shaped like Ohio. I also found a hunk of quartz that looks like a potato (not pictured).
