It's been half a month since the planting season began. We have eaten asparagus and now the plants are all fern and just something to look at for another year. We are still getting strawberries, probably double what we got last year and they are sweet and large. The Cherry tree has some red fruit on it, but I consider it practice fruit and don't really think about harvesting for another year or two. The snow peas have pods on them and we should be eating those by the end of the week. And as almost always, the collards, mustard and arugula keep giving.
We are grateful.
This week the seedlings all had a burst of growth. My bean plants look strong and plentiful, about a foot tall now. The potatoes that we planted all seem to have grown a bit too.
I think soon the bare earth will be covered in green leaf and the lush feeling and sight that this place becomes in the summer will have returned.
