So I thought I'd show you how much things have grown. The top picture is of our beautiful potatoes. I was off island a few weeks ago and ours look so much better and bigger than the professional growers in Skagit County! (A little pride here, but not the bad kind)
The garlic is huge! But not ready to harvest yet. We've been kicking ourselves a bit because we planted it before we planned this year's garden. This was a lesson crop. It's a beautiful crop and smells so good. We are looking forward to salsa!
Here's a shot of our lettuce bed. WOW! I didn't believe greens could taste so good! We have had a little bit of a problem with bolting of the spinach and the arugula, but we continue to replant as we pull the others out. What satisfaction it is to bring home dinner. Salads are first and foremost in our lives right now!
Here's our own Vanah Jen showing our lovely tomato hot bed. Farmer Steve built a beautiful structure that should hold up for a number of years. We found the row cover at the local Thrift Shop for a dollar! (A really good deal). All our "babies" are planted and stay warm and cozy in their little box.. We have one plant in blossom. The little marigolds surrounding the bed will keep out the bad bugs that love tomatoes. They are so perky and happy - brightening the garden.
