Globally Warmed Garden

Off to a quick start this year. Thanks global warming. In fact, the garden is at least a month ahead of schedule. We might be able to plant in February next year. Scary.

The transplanted blueberry bushes (three in the foreground, one off camera at the back) are showing signs they'll bear fruit this year.

Squash trellis bottom right. They're still not tall enough to climb, but soon.

Been eating greens for awhile already. The bib lettuce in front actually wintered over. My fifteen tomato plants are almost two feet tall already.

Fennel and herbs, tomatoes in the background.

Raspberries and blackberries in the foreground. Garlic in the middle background.

The hastas under the burr oak should be okay, but those in the background, along with the hydrangeas, will again feel the heat as I cut Doug the fir tree down last year. They will have to bide their time until the peach and apple trees among them reach their full potential.

Spring Green

With the exception of the garlic box, these beds were planted over three weeks ago and they're all doing quite well. The covers have been on until today's short unveiling. The covers will go back on until the plants are big enough to withstand the bunny onslaught, perhaps in a month or so.

The garlic was planted last november and wintered over nicely. Should be ready to harvest in two or three months.
