In the Garden (this week)....

 First up, not really in the garden, but geraniums in pots.
Some gardens can be in pots, can't they?

Secondly, I couldn't help sharing this

 *not in the garden* photo of our May crop of lambs.

They are pasturing near an old homestead, therefore, you see trees on the prairie.

The chives and Dame's Rocket are happy near our

grassy rock garden area.
The veggie gardens are just coming up.

 The onions in the far area are well established
and the carrots and tiny basil plants are showing up now.

The lettuces are just about harvest-able.  

There's a mix of greens and purples 

and some radishes will be ready any day now to toss in with a salad.
Carrots sprouts are in the back ground of this bed.

Tomatoes and peppers

 The rhubarb is massive.
I'm baking a pie tonight!

 This little patch has asparagus seeds underneath.  I was going to start with asparagus roots, but they were out at the nursery so I read up on starting asparagus by seed and decided I'd get more established plants next spring by sowing now with seeds.
Two herbs are in the foreground:
Lime Thyme (very citrusy) and plain Thyme.

One of a few pots of German Chamomile which seems fast-growing.

Bonnie shared her seeds with me!  More pot gardening.

I'll use it for teas and infused oils.

I love this white Columbine flower.

I also have pinks and purples.  Lots of it.

 

Here's my potato patch.  I've planted potatoes in the straw again this year.  The spuds have contact with the soil, but they are mulched deeply with straw to promote growth upward in the mulch layer.  I only planted half of my normal potato patch and so beyond the potatoes is my "overflow spot" where I have zucchini, squash, pumpkins, peppers, herbs, and cabbages. And you see the large Mr. Rhubarb at the end!

The spuds are just coming through.  I've planted some mushroom spawn amongst this straw too.  We'll see if it works.

Thanks for checking in on my garden escapades.  

What's growing in your pots and patches?

Do tell!
