I'm about halfway done with my main garden planting. My husband still needs to help me dig out an additional section of our side garden bed, and I need to plant more in the main bed as well.
We've really been eating from the garden already though! My over-wintered mesclun greens are huge, and we can't eat them fast enough. I'm probably going to take them out altogether when I finish the summer planting, because some of them are past their prime, but in the meantime I'm just trying to pick and eat them as fast as we can. I also have another two rows that I planted in March that need to be picked every couple of days! The row of radishes I planted in March are also ready, and we've eaten about 2/3 of them.
We're still getting strawberries as well, although it's really only a small handful every day or two. Nevertheless, they taste delicious!
I'm very excited about everything I'm planting for the summer; I can't wait until July when everythings starts to ripen!
PS - For those of you interested in gardening: next weekend, Home Depot is holding a free gardening workshop. This sounds really good. They will cover basics like soil, composting, and rain barrels. Unfortunately, we're going to be out of town for a wedding, because otherwise I would definitely attend. I'm still very new at this and lead to earn all I can!
Note: Home Depot is part of an advertising network for which I am an affiliate.
Great harvest so far! We only have radishes ready, but I didn't plant until mid-April.
