Yesterday we planted 8 new strawberry plants in the "BAB" plot. 2 of them have fruit on them already and the other 6 are 2nd year plants from our garden last year that failed because of too much shade. But these plants came back and they were producing fruit in our yard as well so hopefully we'll get a decent crop of berries in June! We've noticed many of the other gardens have netting or chicken wire around their berries to protect them from birds and other critters. We're going to watch and see if we'll need to do this as well.
There has been lots of slow steady rain this afternoon so thanks to Mother Nature, we didn't need to go water today. Green bean seeds are quickly coming up as are the squash plants we planted in mounds. Carrots and radishes are poking though too. I'm very anxious for the tomatoes to grow bigger, they look kinda sad right now as do the pepper plants. It's still pretty cool though but the broccoli seems to like it!
