Only 8 days later than the last post (9, actually, but I took these pics last night) and you can see how the recent daily rainshowers have helped the peas grow. I'm still concerned about them attaching to the trellis. I may have to add some chicken wire to the front so they have something easier to grab.
The garlic that we thought was ready is not, so it will be left in for the time being. I think the very mild winter and oddly warm March may have messed up their growth pattern a bit. Oh well, we'll leave them be for the time being and maybe check them again in a few weeks or so.
The strawberry plants are looking well with many flowers and teeny, tiny, going-to-be berries. Last year we had an anthill in the upper left of this garden and they have been back even stronger this year. I try and try but getting rid of them has not been easy. I did get some to move, but only over to the other garden, it seems. I will need to get something stronger that won't hurt the soil or plants, if possible. I'm open to any suggestions in the comments!
