Garden picture update













The garden is coming along nicely!

- 3 healthy cabbage,2 smallish ones and 1 died

- 2 rows of carrots, limping along (Romeo, Dragon, and Scarlet Nantes)

- 7 tomato plants of various assortments, all thriving (Black Krim, Black Prince, Sungold, Early Girl, Red Currant, and others)

- 25-30 strawberry plants, exploding with green fruit (Quinault, Rainier, Shuksan, Alpine, and other varieties)

- 1 "northern red pepper" plant

- 7 heads mixed lettuce, doing well

- 6 rainbow Swiss chard plants, thriving

- two rows onions, green tops growing so I assume the onions beneath the soil are, too (Walla Walla and cioppolini)

- 10 or so sugar snap peas, thriving

- one row of very sad, small spinach (I think it needs more water, so we're rectifying)

- several garlic plants, one with a long stalk of green

- three basil plants, looking so-so

- dill, thyme, basil, sage, rosemary, oregano, curly parsley, cilantro in pots, doing very well; chives in a pot, overtaken by the oregano so I'll need to switch out

- newly planted flat-leaf parsley seeds - we'll see!

- one row of radishes, looking great

- one row of golden beets....well, I planted them, but I can't see a darned one, so I don't know what's up!

- several squash plants (zuchinni, patty-pan, acorn, and buttercup) with nice green shoots poking up through the mulch

- 4 blueberry bushes, all flowering, so maybe we'll get a few berries

So, some things are growing better than others, but I don't need 100% success, just SOME success. We haven't harvested anything except herbs yet, but we will, and that is enough. :-)
