I've been neglecting my sites lately. Not on purpose, though. I guess I haven't had anything to say. Not much has been happening with the garden, except we have been drying basil all week in the dehydrator. The plants in the yard are doing well but some are showing the wear of late summer.
Kate harvested the garlic this evening. I asked if that was enough for a year, she laughed and said "No." 
West garden is where the action is, not a whole lot goin' on in the east garden.
...are growing in the east garden. Yesterday, Kate harvested the remaining lettuce and some basil. Today she replanted a bunch of seeds.
I haven't been very inspired to post here this year. I've been keeping it up because I might get back into it and I feel I shouldn't have a big gap in time between posting, especially during growing season. And I would hate to just stop after all this time. I've tried to get my wife involved in it a little, and she started to post last year, but she isn't much interested now, either.
I've been trying to get Kate to post so she can tell you what's what. I know the east garden is strawberries and raspberries, we covered it with the netting last weekend. And the west garden has garlic and a couple lettuces and other stuff.
These were given to us by a coworker last year. We had never grown them before and did not know what to expect, especially due to the mild and up and down winter we had. They are just like what you think of as a green onion, except these are quite a bit larger.
In the west garden the onions are gone, what you see there still is garlic. You can see some small things growing in rows in the bottom half. I'm still trying to get Kate to write here so she can tell you what is where.
... a week can make. Kate has spent much time in the yard and garden again this week, trying to keep ahead of the weeds, planting in the garden and keep up with the growing plants we have. I don't remember all that she planted in the west garden, she'll have to write something to explain what's what when they start sprouting.
The weather seems to have finally accepted that Spring is here. Temperatures have been very nice this weekend, we even have the windows open, finally. Yesterday Kate spent much time in the yard and gardens weeding and removing the winter's hay, and getting the compost soil better distributed. Not all the work is done, but everything seems to finally be on schedule.
