The garden is growing fast!  Blink and you miss something!  The strawberries are blushing and we expect a big crop this year.



The spinach has thrived.



The plot below shows where we’ve planted what this year.  A few things awaiting more consistently warm weather will be planted soon.  Also this year we’ve tried some companion planting--shared space to maximize the planting area.  For example, we planted broccoli raab and radishes...



...along the sides of the tomato beds.  Carrots and beets...



...are also being tried in other beds to extend their enjoyment.  A second crop of spinach has been planted and the overabundance of lettuces...



...continues...



...to amaze...



 ...and satisfy.
