Well, I won't be screaming with joy about the Mulberry finally bearing fruit THIS year. There's always next year. There's lots of good news, though.
My kids borrowed a tiller from their dad as my mother's day gift. I was dragged and zigzaged all over the garden by that thing until I got the hang of it! I plan to put Quinoa, Amaranth and Millet there.

The Seckel Pear and French Petite Plum arrived and are settling into their new homes. I also planted a Salal (used to be used to add to buffalo meat by Native Americans), which gets pretty big in the shade and has tasty berries. Not far away from that is the new Oregon Grape.

This is the first year I've had a cool season crop. It's coming along very nicely, filled with peas, India greens, mitzuna, kale, lettuce, mesclun, carrots, radishes, Italian dandelion, corn salad and more, all neatly arranged.

Basil and artichokes are now peppered into the side garden near some thriving herbs. I added more lavender, some southernwood, another hardy rosemary, some lemon verbena, Egyptian mint and lemon grass.

This year's tomato garden is hopefully going to be tall (trip-l-crops)and will be accompanied by eggplants, cucumbers, green beans and several kinds of peppers, including anchos.

My son tasted the first fresh radish from the garden. Won't be long until harvest season! Let's not rush it, though. Half of the fun is in the preparation!
