The garden is producing...

New Arbor made from hardwood saplings (to block out my neighbor's view into my backyard)

Potatoes

The cool season garden - Top field


With gardening, the soil is everything so here I planted field peas to naturally add nitrogen to the soil before the corn is planted. I also soak the soil with fish emulsion and sea kelp to activate the Biochar that I created early in the Spring. I'll post the results at the end of the growing season at harvest time.

These Sugar Snap Peas are sweet and delicious right off the vine!


This was one days Strawberry harvest. I'll get about the same or a bit more each day for the next couple of weeks. Great on cereal, dipped in sugar, chocolate or whipped cream!
