Well the strawberries are about finished for the season and the raspberries are just about ready to come in. What an excellent transition between fruits. I can't wait to get all of this fruit processed into jam and dried fruit leather.
The seed rows are sprouting in the main garden. We have string beans, lima beans, carrots, beets, squash, and cucumbers. We've also had several cuttings of lettuce although last week's heat wave was not particularly beneficial for a spring crop. Once the pole beans are up six inches or so we'll do a good mulching with straw and put up the bean wall. The Johnny's basket-weave system is working well for the tomatoes so far. We'll have to see how it does when the plants get really big and heavy fruits start to develop.
The herb garden is coming in well too and the central butter fly bush is about to start blooming. All and all life is good, and the spring rains look to have put us back by only about a month or so.
