I've expanded my garden this year. In my old raised beds I have onions, lettuces, spinach, beets, broccoli, cabbage, peas, tomatoes and carrots. Carrots are not doing much but I have had lettuces for salad and spring onions for the past couple of weeks. My "new" garden has potatoes (4 different varieties doing well so far), peas, bush and pole beans, summer squash, zucchini, cukes, corn, pumpkins and melons.

We have plenty of room so I thought I'd add on - seemed like the thing to do since food is so expensive and you don't know where it comes from anymore.

Spring is the season of hope and when gardening is fun. When the hot and muggy Maryland summer gets here, not as much.

But gardening is good for the soul and body, and is always worth it, particularly that first yummy tomato.

Happy hoing!

...you don't know where it comes from anymore.

...or how it has been 'fertilized'...eeeewwwwww.

Or strawberry! I did almost no work in the garden Wednesday because those bright red flashes between the leaves seduced me, and I stood there popping them into my mouth as fast as I could check them for mouse damage. Eight cats, and I've got a strawberry patch full of mice.
