Beans finally showing themselves.
The potatoes have loved the rain lately and have bolted right up. (You can see the compost pile spuds going nuts in the upper right background.)
Plants definitely standing out a bit more. We've got spinach and lettuce coming out our ears. Hey neighbors, stop by for some salad fixings!
Fresh eggs and a couple radishes to top the lunchtime salad!
And most exciting of all, the wee peach tree has peaches on it this year! I'm sooo happy we cut down those three mangy maples to give us more sunlight. This dwarf peach tree is planted in the area where the maples used to stand.
This is the last week of school for S. Last week I chaperoned a 3 day camping trip with her school. I took little E along too. It was fun, tho cold at night. Today we had the FINAL (finally!) Girl Scout shindig after school today. Yet another potluck... I was a bad mom. After working all day I picked up two Little Caesar $5 pizzas and brought them to the potluck. Since they were ravaged before I had a chance to even smell them, I picked up two more to bring home for dinner. Some days I'm just too darn tired and hungry come the end of the day to provide a lovely home-cooked meal. However, I did eat a lovely salad for lunch today with our own greens and hard boiled eggs.
Things are going well here. Not a whole lot to do in the garden except watch things grow, continue to hill up the potatoes, and weed occasionally.
It is strawberry season though. Maybe I can get to the strawberry farm this week...

We are looking for a strawberry farm too. Which one do you plan on visiting? We want to do a u-pick if we can find one.
We always go to Rowe's in Belleville.

Certainly not organic, but we've been going there since I was 5 years old. :) It is a u-pick farm. The kids love picking there.
