Sorry for the pun, but I really did have a good day working in the garden. As you can see, the peach crop is doing very well. We sprayed the trees with an organic fungicide in the early spring to see if we could avoid the fungus that we've had the past few years. It doesn't affect the eating quality of the peaches, only their appearance, but it was yucky all the same. So far, the peaches and apricots are looking pretty good.
The new flower bed in front of the hope-it's-soon-to-be-done deck is all planted! I'd forgotten how much fun it is to get to lay out and plant a brand new bed! I planted a couple of shrubs, several perennial flowers and filled in with some annual flowers. I know it looks a little sparse at the moment, but all the rest of the flower beds looked like this when they were new, too. Won't be long before they're all struggling for space. LOL!
Remember my little pea patch? Yes, this giant crowd of plants is how the pea patch looks today. The fence posts are about 2 1/2 feet tall and the peas are a bit taller in most spots. Fortunately, their upward growth is probably about over as they have begun to bloom. It's hard to see well in this picture, but there are dozens of big white pea blossoms. I'm kind of enjoying this change of style with the new variety. If the peas are big and tasty, I may have found a new standby.
Rejoice kohlrabi lovers (you know who you are!) These delicious little fellas are about two inches in diameter, about half way to the perfect size for eating. I've got eight of these this year. Enough to share. I think. LOL!
