As I was pulling horsetail out of the blueberry patches this weekend (again), I noticed that the blueberry bushes had formed recognizable (not yet ripe) blueberries. So soon?! It’s only spring!
Believe it or not it’s almost June. Here’s a taste (visually) of how the garden is doing:
There are other tomato plants scattered throughout the garden, wherever we could fit them (see the romaine lettuce bed above)
They’re a different variety, however, so maybe that’s to be expected
Not pictured: asparagus and rhubarb are still going strong; the garlic is tall and looking good; chard, collards, and kale are producing nicely; and the onions are still growing slowly but surely .
We have plans to plant cucumbers and squash within the next week or so. We also have sweet potatoes slips that we’re attempting to plant for the first time. We’re supposed to wait for the soil temp to reach 60 degrees before planting them – not sure we’ll ever reach that.
