How Does My Garden Grow
Each time I go to my garden I am amazed by how much things have grown in such a short period of time. Lately, there is always a strawberry or ten to pick and pop into my mouth and the lettuce and arugula has grown so quickly that I no longer buy lettuce at the store. The tomatoes are turning red and there are dozens more blooms that should produce fruit. The cucumber has gone from 1 inch to 8 practically overnight. All of the herbs – parsley, chives, basil, thyme, mint and tarragon are growing like weeds and I bring some home to cook with, for salads, and for garnish each time I go to the garden. I’ve even been giving away the parsley it’s growing so quickly!
In this picture, from left to right is lettuce – the little gem mix plus butter lettuce farther right, Japanese cucumber in the top, tomatoes on the far right and on the bottom from left to right is parsley. thyme (flowering), chives tarragon, arugula, red pepper and the cosmos.
While there are grand plans for what to plant next, I am currently at capacity and will enjoy the bounty through the summer and then revisit what to plant for fall.
