Updates
Everything has been going pretty well in the garden. I've still been working on it steadily even though I fail to update this blog.
I've transplanted all of my seedlings into the ground. I've planted my corn seeds about a week ago and still have not yet sprouted. I've also planted my cucumbers and beans which are just beginning to sprout.
My peas are just beginning to flower. I cannot wait to have some sugar snap peas in my salads. My radishes are doing well too - other than the fact that the squirrels enjoy them more than me. While the organic animal repellent that I sprinkled around the yard helped, it has not stopped the invasion completely.
The ants are also back in full force. I've picked up some diatomaceous earth and have been sprinkling it near the ant hills. Hopefully that will stop some of the onslaught. They typically appear around the corners of my raised beds, but some have begun digging within the beds as well.
The strawberries are doing well. I'm still picking the flowers off of them and will continue to do so until about July. I've mulched the entire strawberry bed with straw. The herbs are doing great too. I have a lot of cilantro that went to seed and is coming back this year. I think I'll have more cilantro than I'll know what to do with. Cilantro anyone?
I'm continuing to pick lettuce from the garden. The romaine is just about ready and one square of mesculin mix that I cut for harvesting is just about fully grown back and ready for another harvesting.
There are lots of new pictures in the galleries so check them out. Hopefully once things start sprouting and blossoming I'll have lots more to show and tell.
