We pulled and ate one of the radishes today. This is the first official harvest of the year, and I'm pretty excited that it is happening early in May.
And soon we will have strawberries! Our strawberries apparently liked the wet Spring -- they look amazing this year.
The cherry tomatoes should be ripe before long and since I planted a ridiculous number of them, we will have more than we can handle.
I'm feeling pretty good about the garden this year. It's taken several years of trial and error to get to the point where I sort of feel like I know what I'm doing and I also know what I like to grow.
This will definitely be the year of the tomato since I planted a ridiculous number of plants, but it is also the first year I'm planting radishes, beets, tomatillos, watermelons and garlic (which was planted last fall). Old favorites are back too -- tomatoes (obviously), strawberries, raspberries (which are multiplying like mad!), potatoes, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, herbs (flat leaf parsley, basil, sage, oregano, cilantro and thyme), carrots and lettuce. And I shouldn't forget the flowers which I grew from seed this year -- petunias, impatiens, marigolds, and sunflowers.
Whew. I really need to keep a gardening journal to keep all this straight from year to year, but I suppose the blog will suffice.
