Sprouts, Crops and Berries

2010gardenThis has been a very busy week in the garden.  On Monday I planted most of my remaining seeds for my summer crops: green beans, cucumbers, butternut squash, acorn squash.  By today, I could see little sprouts of my green beans and my cucumbers:

My spinach, lettuce and asparagus continue to flourish and my broccoli is shooting off little florets:

Finally, my peas are finally blossoming and my strawberry blossoms are rapidly turning into berries:

We also took some additional measures to protect our crops from critters.  I'll post more on that next week!

  3. Just stopping by from Tuesday Garden Party. I'll be anxious to see how your butternut squash turns out. I love to eat it, but am afraid the vines would take over my whole garden. Happy gardening!
