Summer in Bloom

Spring has been a busy time in the garden. Replanted cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, and then placed bird netting to protect garden from the Quail.  Since the birds are unable to munch on the young green plantings the garden is starting to thrive.  Radishes can be harvested in just a few days and the lettuce is delicious. Walla Walla Sweet Onions are doing very well and we look forward to using them in our homemade salsa.  Our goal this year is to produce cucumbers, dill, and peppers for homemade pickles instead of buying at the market to bring home and can.  This year we planted 2 Beefsteak tomatoes, 3 Sweet one hundreds, and 3 Roma starts to make salsa and eat fresh in salads and hamburgers. Happy Gardening!
