Veggies and Berries Update

Almost everything is up! 

 

Potatoes

Since this photo was taken, I have filled the holes up to the top of the plants again.

 

Beets and spinach

The beets are about half up. I may use the extra space for spinach, as I have started thinning it out a bit and transplanting the seedlings.

Peas

I'm not sure why the ends are doing so much better than the middle.

 

Carrots are up in a few patches, but not much overall yet.

Berries

This is the raspberry patch, May 5:
 looking good, but nothing to write home about

May 5

 

Here it is just last week:

a solid wall of green.

 



They have filled out so much!

I think it's going to be our best crop ever.

 

And these little beauties are just covered with blossoms.

Strawberry season is soon to be upon us, and I for one can hardly wait! 

 

My 4 year old asked me the other day if she could pick some of the strawberry flowers.

"Ack! Nooooooo!"

At least she asked first, I guess.

 

Even my 'Blue Jay' blueberry bush has some blossoms on it.

Alas, nothing nearby can pollinate those blossoms, as the other two bushes have nary a flower to be seen. Good effort, though. Good effort.
