Per my mom's request, I am doing an update about our 'Square Foot Garden'.
After a late freeze killed off our first batch of tomato plants, we replanted and things are now growing nicely! We are excited to see our seeds sprouting, fruits forming and flowers blooming.
Here's a look at what's going on:
3rd Strawberry
Zucchini plant
1st tomato (Roma)
1st Phlox flower-- I can't believe it bloomed when it is barely more than a sprout!
Sweet onions
Carrots
Don't even THINK about it, Jake!!
Emma & Jake
The only thing that doesn't seem to be growing with any great speed are our basil seeds... I'm thinking the purchase of an already growing plant may be in order?? Or maybe it will take off once warm weather arrives for good? Who knows...
These are not from our garden but they fit with the fresh produce theme of this post... here are some pictures from our annual trek to Washington Farms to pick strawberries. We picked around 6 gallons this year and made our first venture into canning-- strawberry lemonade concentrate and strawberry vinaigrette! (Thanks, Heather, for the inspiration and thanks, Sara, for the instruction!!)

It was fun! I'm glad we could do it together! Thanks for picking up my canner!
