the garden in mid-May
slowly filling
It's warm now, and we're getting things into the beds. Thanks to hard work by the kids they're all in good shape, but we're held back by the poor condition of the fences. I don't want to put those precious seedlings in, only to have them all be eaten up by the rabbits and woodchucks! That's something I should have been working on a month ago. Sequencing is hard!
But with judicious use of chickenwire around individual beds we're doing our best. Since I took the pictures in this post I planted out more tomatoes and summer squashes, and I hope to get to peppers and cucumbers tomorrow. And we've got greens!

And this time of year the future berries are all very exciting.
strawberries first
then raspberries
and finally blueberries
The only problem is I want to plant way more than I have room for! When can I get a bigger garden?
all this space still isn't enough!
