The peas are getting very large at the top of the garden, with first pea pods starting to grow. Just this side of the small trellis several of the cucumber plants seem to be doing very well. I don't know if they will have much room if they all do well, but I guess we'll take that chance. We put the tomato cages on the plants while we still can. They have gotten stronger since we planted them and are starting to grow nicely. Below that, the sage is growing well and the thyme is still small but growing well. It is hidden by the 2 rows of garlic. Then there are the hot and sweet pepper plants. Kate pulled the radishes, they weren't developing well since the seeds got washed too close together. The same happened to the carrots in the lower left but she has tried to thin them as they grow to give them a chance. We still have space to plant more things yet. Stay tuned, I guess.
A few days ago I notice the first berries starting to turn red so it was time to cover them with netting. Since then, it seems a squirrel got in and tried one or two so now we think we have it secured enough to discourage future poaching. But hey, if they're that determined there's not a lot we can do. Check out the close up pic below!
