I still feel hesitant about putting thoughts into the blogosphere--therefore I'm keeping everything is ubber private: no tags, anonymous links to other blogs, etc. I discovered a new gardening enterprise called Heirloom Gardens. I loved the before and after pictures, as people's useless lawns were transformed into edible landscapes. It seems like a gardening project being done by people who are just diving in for the first time, holding only wonder and hope--quite inspiring.
At this point in our garden, the corn looks like it will be knee-high by the 4th of July (mostly), I believe garlic will be ready for harvest soon (yay!), the new kale I planted is up and the heirloom red spinach that I planted as an afterthought. With the temps approaching 100, the tomatoes aren't complaining, and we have tomatillo blossoms earlier than I can ever recall. Looks like a bumper crop. Raspberries and strawberries are cheering from bee-action.
A picture's worth 1000 words.



Here's a picture of our potatoes (beets to the right, raspberries on the left)
