Spring Garden Update

i'm thrilled that we have had sun and rain. it's the perfect combo for my garden to grow!
 
here's the latest:
{all pics taken with my iphone}
 
 
my two little strawberry plants.
wondering if i will get to eat any this year before the birds get to them

spinach, carrots, and my chives that are barely coming in.
and for some weird reason only half of my carrots have come up.
i'll be planting some more soon.

my peas!! i'm so very excited about my peas! they have this nice trellis that bubba built and they love it and growing like crazy.
will be harvesting these little buggers in the next few days

 
one tomato plant in the corner.
broccoli plants and carrots
again.. about half didn't come up.
will be planting more of those as well

 
tomato plants and radishes
this is the first year that i'll be growing all of my tomato plants from seeds
a bit nervous, hoping they grow well

our radishes are awesome and most of them are ready to harvest
just need some recipes for radishes now!

 
my asparagus.
i thought for sure that my asparagus were done for. it seemed to take FOREVER for them to sprout.
now they have sprouted and who knows if i'm even doing it right.
but i read that it takes awhile before you can harvest, a few years
(please excuse the weeds. ha}

rowan's sweet pea flowers... their growth has stunted a bit. but her one sugar snap pea plant is growing well. she grew some from seed at school that she brought home a bit ago and i think i will have her plant those peas soon as well.

more tomato and broccoli plants.
i plan on adding onions and cauliflower to this spot when they are ready.
 
i didn't include the pic of my beets because well.. the weeds are bigger than the beet starts.

she picked her first radish this morning! this one looks like maybe a french breakfast.
i planted a variety pack, so each pick is a surprise!
 
i'm off to pull weeds and plant this rainy, cloudy friday evening!
