Garden Update

Garden Update:

The asparagus season has ended and large fronds now gather the energy from the sun to nourish the crowns under the surface.

Strawberries are currently producing about a pound of fruit every two days or so. The kids love to eat them right after picking them. They are so sweet.

I have prepared half the rows yesterday. The potager garden concept is coming together. I have trays of seedlings which have been on the balcony hardening off ready to put in the ground.

I built a new arch for cucumbers, and the kids planted pickling and slicing variety today. They also planted some pumpkins today.

While I was pulling some weeds, I found a small oak tree sprout. I pulled it up and found the root and stem still attached to an acorn. I hope it will grow in a pot. I’ll relocate it to the back yard when it’s bigger.
