Ten Picture Garden Update

Just a quick update on the garden. I figured the pictures tell a better story. Suffice it to say that things are growing well. We have added trellises to our new containers and more soil in our asparagus bed.

Here's a picture of said asparagus bed:

Here are our strawberries. They are doing really well. I'm happy that the leaf disease is no longer a problem. We fixed it by removing the infected leaves and any leaved that were lying on the soil.

More fruit on our plants:

Our beans have come up. Our tomatoes are growing higher in their cages. The peppers are doing well. They seem to be a little yellow though. The broccoli is doing well too!

Here's a close-up of the tomatoes:

This next picture is the top half of the box because our sweet peas are climbing higher and I can't fit it all in one photo. We had to help the sweet peas find the trellis.

Here's the bottom half of the same container. The beans are coming up and the radishes are ready for picking.

Here we have our transplanted watermelon and cucumbers. We have some spinach, zucchini, and peppers in this container.

This is our vine tomatoes which are doing well. There are flowers on most of our plants.

Here's the same box but from a different vantage. Our herbs are doing great!

End of May 2011

Today I thinned our raspberries. I noticed some strange substance on the canes. It looked like spit bubbles (I can't think of a better way to describe it). I am not sure what is causing it. Here's a blurry close-up of one cane with.

We have strawberries forming on our plants! I can't wait for fresh strawberries.

Here's our asparagus box. The asparagus ferns are getting tall and appear to be going to seed.

Our sweet peas are climbing the trellis. Our radish plants are doing well too! We transplanted some peppers in the front of this box.

Here's a closeup of the peas.

And a closeup of the radishes.

Here are more pepper plants and our determinate tomatoes. We also planted some beans in this box.

Here's a closeup of the tomatoes.

Here's our cucumbers, peppers, and what's left of our spinach.

Finally here are our indeterminate tomatoes and herbs. We have cilantro, basil, oregano, and thyme. We also have transplanted zucchini and eggplant into this box.
