Photo Update from the Second Garden


 
Top: Most promising strawberry plant. This baby has been pumping out big, beautiful flowers like there's no tomorrow. Bottom: The rest of the strawberry plants. The trough has been in need of weeding for a week. Where's the time?
Peas, round 2. Time to walk through the nearby park and find some sticks. Going to try the reverse wigwam method as the peabucket with wigwam is growing at a ridiculous rate surpassing the sticks. 

Red Fig Tomato bush(es) breaking ground. Planted them 4 weeks ago. The weather was very warm and summery, then quickly turned to cold spring rains. I wasn't sure if the seeds would die because growing conditions weren't ideal or if they'd wait until the time was right. Guess tomato's are patient!

2 of 3 (or 4?) bloomsdale spinach plants. I broke off a shoot from another plant and ate it. Spinach is going to be delicious! Way past time to get kale in the ground. Where's the time?
One of two Calypso Calendula containers. I chose to grow them for their anti-inflammatory qualities when eaten.
The other CCalendula container, just breaking ground.
My "fun plant"; dwarf sunflower. Not looking so hot. Guess he doesn't like forest soil.
