My wife and I bought our first house in the spring of 2009. The next spring we built and started up our very first garden. This is the tale of that garden and our amateur attempts to grow things.

Mid-May Growth
In the mid morning shadows, the west garden is coming to life despite more yet to be planted. The peas are getting big at the top, I'll be building a small trellis for the vines to attach to soon. Below that is open space above two leftover herb plants, sage and thyme I think, my wife will correct me later. Then there are two rows of garlic, some more open space that will be planted later, with radishes in the lower right and carrots just starting to come up in the lower left.
The east strawberry bed is almost in full swing. There are several blossoms starting, and Kate said she saw a tiny berry starting already! When they start ripening we will have to stay on top of picking them so we don't lose it all to the birds and squirrels. I have a netting that hopefully will dissuade vermin poachers.
