All things considered we are ahead of scheduled. The garden was tilled for the third time 3 weeks ago. Already in are tomatoes, most of the peppers, squash, Chinese Long beans, radishes, romaine, herbs, sugar pea pods and cukes. 6 broccoli plants went in today, a few left. Our red raspberry bushes (3) that we put in last year have multiplied to 11 bushes. Life is good.

“Our red raspberry bushes (3) that we put in last year have multiplied to 11 bushes. Life is good.”

As much as I HATED picking Raspberries for 8 hours a day M-F to sell at Saturday’s Farmers Market, you are going to LOVE having your own in your garden!

I added three ‘Patriot’ Blueberry bushes this season. They’re small, but blooming like crazy! I might actually have a few berries this season. They are SO good for you!

I have a million ‘baby’ grapes on the vine already. Looking forward to a bumper crop of grapes again this season. We are down to 6 pints of juice from last season, so fingers crossed for another good grape crop this season.
