What's up, growing up that is, on the land.....

Some updates on what's growing around here!

 

I knew strawberries did better the second year, but OH BOY!  This is part of a second bowl full we've gotten recently.  It is so perfect!  The taste is miles better than any you could get from the store right now, just lovely.  I can't wait for more of these gems to be found! 

This large brown patch now has fast growing seedlings everywhere!  Beans along the fence, tons of squash, yellow, acorn, butternut, green squash, zucchini, and pumpkins.  I am a bit disappointed at the watermelon, but three little tiny seedlings are finally taking off up on the right.  We have rows and rows of different kinds of tomatoes to the left of the squash, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the far left, and cucumbers too mixed around towards the far end.  Mr. Hopewell randomly planted more squash, eggplant, and some random seeds towards the far end, it will be surprise gardening!

I am soooo pleased with these squash plants!

  Some of our tomatoes are now really taking off, there are bigger ones than this now that we had a week of rain, ending with sun and humidity. 

 

 Some cucumber and squash seeds that were directly sown. 

Nice little yellow squash growing strong. 

 We have sun flowers at each short end, and marigolds throughout the garden.  The newest plant in our collection was Rhubarb from the market this past weekend.  I can't wait for strawberry rhubarb pie!  My mouth is already watering!
