Photo by Evan

I asked Evan to take a photo this evening and she chose this nice bunch of grapes. They are slowly getting plumper and plumper. Each little bunch will be a nice snack come September. The girls can't wait!

Peas, brother.

Radishes!

We have large leafy greens in the garden and attached to those greens are yummy red radishes! We are patiently waiting for them to plump up. 

Almost there!

Well, this berry anyway, but where there is one there will soon be many! Matilde has already "called" this one, so the rest of us will have to wait to taste the sweet juice of an organic homegrown strawberry. 

Is that what I think it is?!

Eureka! 

What a sight! I am excited to see our broccoli growing probably as much as the girls are dreading having to eat it! Hahaha #badrap 

Strawberries (part 2)

Andy suggested I look closer for green berries. I doubted him, but I suppose I shouldn't have because look what I found!! 

Lookin good!

We are off to a good start. Our cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, tomatoes, lettuces, and garlic are looking great!  They are enjoying the rain and continue to grow without consistent sunshine. I'm excited to see what will be around come harvest time. I tend to be a bit pessimistic because of worms from the past seasons. I do, however, feel differently about this year's crop. I've even been talking to the plants more. We'll see if that works....

Grapes

All of our grapes are growing this spring!  The last vine has really taken off and has reached up to the wire. The middle grapes are slowly catching up. Our transplant of Grandpa Smith's concords have blossoms!  We thought they were done for, but they're still growing!  

Still Growing

This lone plant is still growing strong!  It's from the salad mix that Andy dumped out in the box last fall. Matilde yanked the other plant that survived thinking it was a weed, but I was able to stop her before she pulled this one too! 

It doesn't take much...

This little plant sprouted in our boot scraper. It was a nice surprise to see this little bit of green reaching up through the muck. Weed or not, it doesn't take much for a seed to come to life. 

Green Onions

These puppies are really taking off!  They have been batted down by the hard rains lately, but they are growing pretty tall. 

Anyone notice Evan pulling weeds in the background?  I hadn't noticed that until I was ready to send it to all of you. What a big help that was! 

How do you like them apples?

A very promising sight! 

The last of the tomatoes. I promise this time.

Ha!  

This is all that is left of the five large tomato plants we grew in our front garden beds. I will miss seeing them grow wildly about. *sigh*
