Veggies & Berries Update

Bottom terrace:
 
spinach & beets
As mentioned in the previous post, we have already been harvesting spinach.

I thinned the beets once; I may need to do it again.
 
Potatoes growing full and bushy.
I love growing potatoes.
I guess its my latent Idahoan genes coming out.
(We didn't move up north until I was 8.)
They are certainly big and impressive for this early in the gardening season; it's very satisfying. Plus, with this rain we've had today, they must have grown another 4 or 5 inches.
 
tomatoes & peppers
Haven't seen much change since I planted them.
 
Cucumbers
 
Middle Terrace:
carrots
So, all my carrot seeds must have washed over into this corner the first time around.
I replanted a bunch (in furrows this time) of Danvers Half-Longs.
I may end up with more carrots than I know what to do with.
 

 The peas are gaining height; no flowers yet.
 
Oh, several of my squash and pumpkin seeds are up as well.
No pictures of those.
 
  
Berries
 
Our raspberry patch is still going strong!

The berries have started forming.
Maybe 2-3 more weeks?

strawberry patch
 

These plants are just loaded with berries, as well.
Nearly all green, and mostly smaller. 

My daughter picked this ripe one and we all shared it.
It was divine.

Long view of the patch.
Bring on the berries!
That's what I say.
