First, the weather has been weird. It was cold and wet a lot longer than last year. It was already in the 90's last year by the end of April. We haven't hit 90 here yet this year.
Second, it was a graduation year, so most of our spring was tied up in getting the house ready for all the family and friends coming in for that.
Still, we did manage to start our garden. I just didn't take the pictures or document it like last year. And because of our time issues, we didn't get the tomatoes staked, so they are a sprawling mess. Our beans didn't come up - due to the weather - so I'm not sure what we will have in that department this year.
We have had lots of lettuce, though. So we have been enjoying garden salads. And all of our squash is now coming in! Dinner last night was summer squash and zucchini 8 ball squash:
And we have tomatoes that are green and turning red, jalapeno peppers, green peppers almost ready to eat! We planted cucumbers, turnips (oh, those are ready as well), okra, carrots ... oh, and we've had spinach come in as well.
Our cherry tree is really going to town and we will have a good crop of blueberries (if the birds don't eat them!). I ate our first blackberry yesterday.
So, it has been eventful, just not documented - or well kept. The garden looks a mess this year.
I just wanted to post since we have produce coming in. We will be doing some freezing of the squash (of course it all comes in at the same time, no matter how we try and stagger planting dates!).
I will endeavor to post more, but I make no promises. Hopefully next year will be a better year!
