May Garden Update

It's been a while since I have updated the garden (writing thank you notes can take hours) and not to be outdone by the peas over at Hurst Street, here is our end of May update.

We have strawberries, people. Grown from seeds last year, kept alive indoors over the winter, and back outside for this season. They are the small container berries, and delicious.

We have snow peas! Several actually, and since we don't use any sprays, we can eat them right off the vines. Very tasty. And the sugar snap peas are coming.

Our potatoes are out of control. The plants are blooming and are about 4 feet tall and growing. They are, in fact, overtaking the trellis we set up for the green beans. We will need to help the green beans along.


We have volunteer dill. Seeds from last year's plant spread all over the upper garden and we have dill growing like a weed. Everything.
We have volunteer tomatoes, doing much better so far than the tomatoes we planted from seeds. A black zebra cheery tomato fell last year and gave us a new plant.

We have rhubarb! I didn't plant any thing around it this year and it is doing much better.

And we have too many golden raspberries to count.
There are blueberries on the side of the house,
and mint from last year growing out of its own pot.
