Well, my regular blog isn't the only thing I have been neglecting lately. No changes have occurred in the gardens since the last post other than how everything has grown. With that, here's the traditional looks at the garden.
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.

More Planting, Little Growth Yet
Today in the west garden Kate planted more microgreen seeds at the top right of the pea trellis where the peas didn't come up. These pics are from yesterday, before today's planting, but really it looks the same.
On May 26 Kate added 4 strawberry plants to the ones the squirrels left us, so now there are 8 or 9 total. Also today, Kate planted more leaf lettuce above the raspberry plants on the right.
The left side of the compost bin is what we acquired all last year and even some early spring stuff this year. You can see it is almost pure dirt already. This year's compostables go into the right side. I wasn't sure it would be ready in one year but we will be able to add it to the garden this fall or early next spring.
