Now it tastes like summer






























Well it is amazing what a difference six weeks makes for a newly planted berry patch. It seems just like yesterday i was planting my strawberries and now i am already enjoying the first trickle of sweet berries. So far they taste great and taste sweeter ever day as the sun ripens them to a nice shade of red. Right now i am getting just about a quart a day while that is small i should be getting a much higher output within weeks as i planted day neutral plants which grow and flower all summer an fall. By mid summer i hope to be getting anywhere from 15 to 30 quarts if the weather is good and the plants keep growing at the same pace. I will post further on the strawberries as they continue to come fully into season. The non strawberry pictures in this post have more to do with my last one but i digress. The first pic is of some beans which are doing quite well so far. The second is of pak choi and the last is a Chinese variety of radish called daikon it is white and more similar to a carrot than radish. I will post further on the garden and its progress next time and as my camera has come back to life don't ask how it just did i will have plenty of photo evidence. I hope you all enjoy the longest days of the year and have a great solstice next week i will try to have sunrise pictures of it for those who are less inclined to celebrate it and be awake for the whole day.
