So I went out, took some pictures (Didn't resize them... so they are big), and decided to do a blog focused on our garden.
First off, its berry season, and we are getting lots of blueberries! So excited! (Apparently we had been getting them for a while now, but only a few, and Blake was eating them when he saw them... so I didn't know as soon :P)
These were all picked yesterday from our plants.
As compared to this time last year, our tomatoes are a bit behind. I have a feeling this is because it has been colder this year than last year, but they are growing, slowly but surely. We even have a few green tomatoes growing, so I have lots of hope for our crop this year!
The two raised beds that Blake built this year are doing well. The first one below has beets, herbs, eggplant and Swiss Chard. We have already harvested beets once (each row was planted a few weeks apart for us to have beets at even intervals) and Swiss chard a few times. Most of our herbs in there are doing well too.
The second raised bed is newer, so the plants are smaller. It has tons of onions, and then some spaghetti squash, pumpkin and cantaloupe. After our visit to our CSA farm, we also got some cuttings of fig trees, so we will see how they do.
Our peppers this year (way fewer planted than last year) are like the tomatoes, slow but growing and doing well.
In other news, we have our first home study interview tomorrow! I am trying not to go crazy cleaning the house or worrying about it, but I am somewhat nervous... fingers crossed it goes well.
