Come along with me on a tour of my garden, nice and close up!
Carrot sprouts are peeking up through the compost.
The sage set to blooming--I will have to cut back all the blooms.
In the strawberry patch were surprises from the overnight rains.
A strawberry to pick!
There were lots of green strawberries, and beautiful blossoms as well.
My pea plants, sown much later than I would've liked, were sprouting up. Hopefully I'll be able to harvest their delicious fruit before the summer heat sets in.
Baby pea sprouts.
Above and below, my green bean plants were taking root.
Tomato blossoms!
My parsley is looking beautiful this year.
This basil--columnar basil--is a new herb for me this year. The leaves are smaller than traditional basil, but can be used in the same way. They also taste the same as the traditional basil. You may recall that a number of years ago, my traditional basil developed basil downy mildew, and I needed to find an alternative for the several years experts say it will take for the mildew to finally be gone in my garden. I've had success with Medinette basil (not pictured but I'm growing it again this year), and I thought I'd try this variety.
Here's to a new garden and harvest season!!
Back to life,
Christine
