Plants coming up, unfortunately weeds starting to come up too ...



Weeded out small plants, need to get some weeding done



Have two rows of yellow tomatoes, one row of Early Girl and two rows of Better Boys



Zuchinni coming up, only a few seeds sprouted, should plant more ...



The raspberries are starting to invade



First weeding, mid May ...



It's now May, no horror stories of Winter other that the snowstorm we got in October which felled half of my huge maple tree in back. Other than that, no real snow, the ponds didn't even fully freeze this winter, first time I've ever seen that ...





Someone told me to plant marigolds near the beans to keep the bugs away, first seedlings got eaten pretty good by them.



Snow Peas almost ready



A better view of the tomatoes



Squash getting bigger



Tomatoes growing quick



Raspberries taking over



New raspberry growth, it spreads all on it's own



Weeds taking over again



Roma tomatoes in window boxes



Basil in the pot



My buddy Li, the turtle ...



A random plant growing in the pot, it's about five feet tall, now ...



It's now June 6th, it was incredibly hot for a few weeks, now it's been raining for a few weeks and the last few days have been feeling like late winter, early spring, Brrr ... Plant are coming up good, but I still have some space to fill, need to plant something like carrots right away



Chives and parsley, chives started coming up in February, now they're quite tall and flowering



Squash getting bigger



You can see my empty spot ... need more plants, too late for seed, might try some seedlings



Cucumbers growing good



Beans doing better



Soon the tomatoes will have to be tied



Alright, now it is July. The plants are doing well, zuchinni is busting out, the tomatoes are getting tall





Basil and Rosemary doing well



Zuchinni is growing well, need to weed a bit



Tomatoes at about four feet, cucumbers doing well



Sammy the tomato thief, eating green tomatoes



Raspberries getting even bigger



Can see some fruit



Side view of growth, small boxes dying out



First picking of the season



Lots of ripe raspberries



Wild flowers randomly growing



Got the kid picking fruit



Karma chillin' in the shade



It's the end of July, beginning of August, went on vacation and it didn't rain once in the week we were gone, the cucumbers pretty much died out, but tomatoes and zuchinni are doing well. I have some peppers and will try to plant something in the cucumber's spot





another picking of zuchinni and beans, have to find some new recipes
