I've really been enjoying our haskaps (Lonicera caerulea) this week while waiting for the strawberries to ripen. The blackberries and raspberries have just been pollinated so there's still some time before those come into season, and the recent warm-but-not-too-warm weather has kicked our beans and tomatoes into gear.
Also, peonies!
What's growing on with you all?
Finally figured out how remove exif data and add an image, so here's a picture of the garden! I hand pollenated my first butternut squash yesterday, and the cucumber plants are covered in flowers, several of which look like they might actually start turning into cucumbers! I've got some empty space that I want to figure out what to do with, I'm starting some more bell peppers and I think I might plant some more carrots. Overall very happy with how things are growing so far this year!
The raised beds with the arch trellis have cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, basil, some brassicas (not doing too great), radish, and beets. The beds in the foreground have chickpeas and some empty space where I may add carrots. There is another bed off camera where I have more pumpkins and some sunflowers.
Hey that's awesome! And I adore your setup, it's very cozy looking. If only my cucurbits were anywhere near the point of having flowers...
