We have reaped the first of this year's harvest: a handful of spinach... :) just enough to add to a meal for a splash of color. The Swiss Chard is doing much better. The first harvest of chard is enough to steam for Sunday evening dinner veggie. The lettuce is beautiful and ready to pick.
There are a half-dozen tomatoes so far, also half-dozen summer squash developing. The peas are coming along nicely, it won't be long before there are enough to harvest. There is one buttercup squash developing on the vine and lots of blossoms on each of the squash plants.
Even the pepper plants have finally decided to grow. The broccoli plants are growing rapidly as are the carrots. The corn is beautiful and standing more than 2 feet tall already. This is my first attempt at growing corn.
I don't know what's up with the dill, it is stunted at about 3 inches and just won't grow any more.
The beets are looking good. I only planted a few beets since I am the only family member who likes them, and so far they seem to be doing nicely (it's difficult to tell by only their tops).
I think I will try planting some potatoes this week.
It will be nice when the flowers all decide to grow up and blossom; they are all growing the slowest of everything in the garden.
All for today.
Happy Gardening
