Looking into the greenhouse, here are the adorable tomato plants that a dear friend, TO, gave us:
Some bok choi and choi sum, with cilantro and mache trying to compete:
The cilantro and kale going nuts and going to seed among a few leeks:
From back to front: gai lan, chinese cabbage, and frisee.
The onions, grown from seed, finally planted after some very wet weather:
Dill among the carrots; can you even tell which is which?
Garlic: looking good, baby!
This bed of strawberries is doing well:
Look at the size of the berries:
Spinach...ah, how we love spinach (lamb's quarters, the weed, is edible too):
Radishes down the middle of the broccoli:
A close-up of a floret forming in the broccoli:
The dog...next to the onion beds and the comfrey and horseradish:
More comfrey...and dog butt anyone? Where are the chickens?
The blueberries are blooming:
Another view of the blueberries, with strawberries as ground cover:
Third view of blueberries, on a different (and sunnier) day:
ARGH! Bamboo invasion!
Choi sum seedlings, in a bed with more lettuce and spinach.
See chicken...
See chicken stay away from dog...
Our pride-and-joy asparagus bed - the one that actually produces well:
This is the volunteer cilantro that decided to keep the asparagus company:
The yellow raspberry plants that another dear friend, C, gave us:
Tools of my trade: the dandelion tool, the wire weeder, and the circle hoe. Don't leave the garden shed without them.

ACK! Your garden is so GREEN! LOL...I'm envious...I have teeeny tiny sprouts coming up..nothing like you..and your comfrey is GORGEOUS!!!! Makes me wish we had a longer growing season.
And here I sit on a sunny day in bed because of a tooth. Ill have to post on THAT later though...when I can find some humor in it :P lol
Great job, I can't wait to see the progression through the summer!
Your garden looks wonderful!!
Stace, I'll trade you comfrey for ducklings! :) Sorry that your tooth is bothering you so much...that sucks. Hope it'll be better soon!
Together, thanks! It's coming along. :)
I am definitely envious! My spinach is just starting to poke out of the ground!!! Someday I will have bountiful gardens like yours...someday! For now, I must be satisfied with my urban garden and its meager but delicious bounty! ;)
I dream of having a garden(s) like your someday!! Yummmmmy!
OK, I admit it. I have garden envy :D When I come and organize your house, will Scott cook me some yummy stuff from your garden?? Add that to the margaritas, and I'll *invent* a freakin' transporter!
Nothing like fresh vegetable from your own garden!
Does your dog help animals like bunnies stay out?
I'll admit I have "garden envy" like Firefly mom :)
Hugs

I'm so envious. I have a black thumb.
I need to come over to your place and just eat and eat :P
Wow! You're garden is much further along than mine. I do not have any strawberries growing yet and don't expect them for weeks to come. :-(
It seems amazing to me that you have so much, so soon. Mind you I might have more if I actually planted anything...now there's a thought :-)
I hope you had a lovely weekend!
What an awesome garden, Teresa! Looks like you will be set for veggies and fruits. :) Can't wait to see how big the strawberries get.
xoxo
Lots of love and hugs...
From me and the kitties and extra kisses from Quincy :)
Pushaw ... your photos are lovely and those strawberries are mondo! Your garden looks incredible and I am very impressed with it. =) (oh and, your photos too!)
You have an AMAZING garden, Teresa. I am in awe of your skills. My mother has a green thumb which I unfortunately did not inherit. Your family is going to be enjoying some great meals come harvest time!
Everything looks so wonderful! oh how we miss our yellow raspberries! and bamboo really?
Grace, the bamboos were also from CP (actually, from her mom's place). We need some pandas here to keep them in check.
As always, very envious of your amazing garden. Thanks for the head's up on growing spinach tho. To The Blonde Duck, I'm a bad gardener as well, but spinach grows in spite of me so I'm sure you can grow it too.
