We made our first salad with lettuce from our raised beds. Just transplanted some various mints and herbs into the beds. Forgot the sage, so it goes in tomorrow. I have another couple of trays of herbs, perennial flowers and tomatoes doing well. The toms were from last year’s seed so I planted them heavy in the starters and I swear they all germinated. Have to thin them out tomorrow.
Lost one transplanted blackberry to the wind. We live at the Northeast end of a valley and the wind is brutal. The other one looks awesome though!
All the fruit trees came back well. We planted an almond seedling last year. It is incredible. Never seen any tree take off like it has.
My daughter swears her almond tree turned into peaches. The first year she had some almonds, but something got them and her cherries too before she did.
She had planted some peach trees in the backyard and two dwarf almond trees in the front the next year they looked like peaches tasted like peaches, and the pit looked like a peach pit.
We wondered if the almond trees were grafted onto peach tree stock or something, and the basic stock took over.
