Garden 2009

I haven't talked much about the garden this year, but it's back in full force. We had some good early season success with spinach and radishes. I was too late on that last year, but I got seeds in the ground early this time. I left a radish in the ground just to see how big it would get. It ended up getting pretty large and it even flowered.



I planted snow peas again this year, and they are doing great. Again, I got them in early in the season this year. The vines are thicker, and some new ones even sprouted up on their own.


Tomatoes are doing better this year too. I planted 4 different tomatoes in the garden and one in a pot in the front yard. All are doing well with some green tomatoes already on the vine.


The raspberries are growing like crazy. We started with just a few sticks:


Now we have this:


It's too bad for Christine that she will miss out on the all the raspberries while she's in Austin. You didn't expect me to save any for her, did you? :)

Even the dirt making is going well. Maybe I'll empty out the composter on the garden mid-season this year.
