First Harvest!

I tend my garden every morning. I water and weed a bit. And a few days ago I was able to harvest a few radishes but my husband ate them before I was able to get a picture.

These are some I harvested today.



As you can see I planted my radishes in with my onions. Radishes are so easy and quick. They take about 20 days to grow and they love the cold. These seeds were the first thing I planted outside this spring. The onions will be in the ground all summer but the radishes will be long gone before the onions begin to take over. I will most likely plant radishes a second time in August.



Everything in the garden is coming along well. My strawberry plants are quite high now. The peas and lettuce are coming in. In the next week I hope to have everything out and planted. All my gardens will be set and growing. Last day of frost around here is June 1st, but I could have gotten away with planting two weeks ago since the weather has been so unseasonably warm but, I am convinced that had I done so frost would have visited that first night. Better safe than sorry.

My schedule has been so busy lately too that I have had to postpone finishing my last raised bed and the compost heap that I planned to plant my pumpkins in has been taken over by some wild plants, but I can reclaim it.

Working in my garden is one of my life's greatest joys. I truly love growing and tending things. And everyone in the house benefits from my efforts.
