Garden Update

See Kai's little carrots poking up down in front?
Carrots, corn and radishes... OH MY!
...With snap peas, pumpkins, zucchini and
wax beans peaking up from the other bed.

Looking green and lush!

Has it really been less than 20 days since I last put up pictures of my veggie garden? Amazing, given how much it's grown! I'm excited to see what it does once we actually start getting some decent weather! As you can tell, things are coming right along. My two sad broccoli plants are still hanging in there and I am very curious to see how these strange, leggy things turn into edible broccoli (assuming they will). I think my radishes should be ready for harvest in a few weeks, and I'm very excited to get a taste of my home grown veggies. We picked our first strawberries this week, and it's becoming clear to me that with the rate we go through produce (OK... mostly me), my meager garden will be nothing more than outdoor nibbles, and most of it probably won't even make it in the house. That's OK, I love the growing process and this year is definitely a "test" to see how different crops come out and what works best in our climate. And I'm not gonna complain if my 4 year old wants to eat stuff straight from the garden!
