That's hilarious and yes, so true!
Your garlic looks wonderful. And what an odd looking strawberry!
It looks like you don't thin your peaches. What a treat those will be on a hot summer day!
Always good to catch up with you. Be Blissed!
Too early for our garden. We just got 96 tomato plants planted, and to plant the remainder yet. Our rhubarb has a small harvest due to putting it in grow pots to move this year. Asparagus harvest was wonderful and we are still getting a few more. The herb garden is starting to come back to life, but the green onions are not liking our 44 degree nights this weekend. I do need to buy new bird netting for our berry bushes, but those are won't be ready for a while either.
Daisy, you're correct, we neglected to thin our peaches. They look pretty in clusters, but it will be more work to peel and pit!
Kristina, that's a lot of tomatoes! But then, I know you do a lot with them, so hopefully you'll have plenty to work with.
You may be later than us, but it sounds like you're keeping on top of things!
A strawberry 'blossom'! Wow, you got precipitation every single day. I don't think we got more than .1" any single day, and most days have been completely dry . . . like April was. Doesn't bode well for wildfire season here.
Michelle, it's too bad rainfall is so regionally inconsistent. Seems like somebody is always getting too much while somebody else isn't getting enough! I hope you get yours soon.
The chicory flowers are beautiful!
I got a handful of spinach from small patch, which was emotionally very satisfying (if not very feeling). The Jet Barley is drying out and I am trimming a few heads every day. I think my garlic should be ready in the not too distant future.
With the grains out, I need to plan what will be planted next in that space.
How true that May saying is. What lovely, colourful stuff you are harvesting.
We had a few good garden days, but now back to single digits C overnight, and just barely into double digits mid-day, a cool north wind, and another inch + of rain. We are a little soggy. Alliums and brassicas are loving it. Tomatoes and peppers are shivering.
TB, it's wonderful that you are doing so well with your limited garden space. Even the little bits are like prizes. And you're becoming familiar with your new growing climate. Win-win.
Rosalea, gardening is always a challenge, just different challenges for different locations! Hopefully June will bring a warm up for you (I'm just praying it doesn't get too hot here!)
