Now that our nominal frost date has past, we have got most of the garden planted. With only three tiny raised beds (less than 100 square feet), we have to be careful about what we plant: there has to be a good food return to real estate used ratio. So, potatoes, melons, and corn are all out. They take too much room for the food they supply us. Beth is happy to sell us all these things and more.This year, so far, we have 3 types of tomatoes, yellow squash, green squash, sugar snaps, leeks, fennel, two kinds of peppers, and yellow haricots filets. For herbs, we have rosemary, sage, two kinds of thyme, chives, garlic chives, lovage, oregano, lemon balm, dill, basil, cilantro, and Italian parsley. Cucumbers will go on the trellis when the peas come out. Thai basil will go in whenever we get around to it.

And finally a couple of shots from the back yard, our little oasis where we dine when the weather cooperates.
