Atop the west garden, the peas are almost done. They haven't climbed the trellis as well as we had hoped so next time I may have to figure out a way to keep it more upright rather than leaning against the garage as it is now. The plants below are coming along nicely. There are two pepper plants below the peas toward the left, the two tomato plants in front of them, with basil on the right. Then parsley, cilantro and oregano. Chives are above thyme in the lower right. And the garlic at the bottom which was planted last fall has started to lay over so Kate will probably harvest it today.
The strawberries were a disappointment this year, after about 7 quarts last year we got less than 1 this year of mostly small berries. It's not just us, the odd, mild Spring this year made it bad for strawberries throughout the region. The netting is no longer needed and will be removed when we get around to it.
