Random Garden Happiness(es)

Here's what's happening in the garden this week!  It's been so incredibly dry (and cold up until a couple of days ago) that I'm still waiting on the sweet corn, squash, zucchini and peanuts to peek (along with a few other veggies), but all these other happenings make me very happy...

The Honey Suckle is so happy!!!

The first pumpkin sprout!

Our over-wintered kale still going strong!

More Sugar Snap Pea flowers!  I am so super excited for these babies to mature!!!

The Beet Forest

The first Butternut Squash sprouts of the year!

We won't have many strawberries this year, but here's one of the few :-)

The next round of spinach just starting to  peek!  This is in a pot.

Apples on one of our Frankenstein Trees

Basil and carrot happiness!
Happy gardening!!!  Cheers!!!

    Where did you get the "frankenstein" trees? I'd love to try these!

    We found them at a local garden store. I think you find them more and more easily these days! We've put in 2 apples trees, a pear tree and a cherry tree...all spliced and each with four varieties of fruit on them! We're anxiously awaiting their maturation! So far we've only gotten one type of apple from each tree, but we've had a couple of rough winters and they're still pretty young. Good luck in your hunt!
