The weather has been so nice here in Western Washington lately and the garden is growing like mad. I thought I’d share some of my backyard photos with you today and share all the goodness that is happening behind our fence. Lucy the puggle princess wanted to make sure she was included in the photos too! 😉
The oregano patch is gaining on Pinky and the Girls. I’m hoping to cut a few bundles of stems next and hang them to dry to use later during this winter. Is anyone interested in how I dry my herbs? If so let me know and I’ll do a tutorial for you.
The first spring we were here we planted 3 espalier trees {2 pear, 1 apple} and for the first time ever we have some baby apples growing!!! I’m not sure if I need to prune the tree or if I should find a way to hook all the ends of the limbs together to create a long wall of branches. Anyone know? I need to do some research on this.
Ahh the raspberries. We are going to have a bumper crop this year.
The HH’s cabbage is coming in nicely.
As is the garlic. No scapes yet… but soon!

This year we have 9 tomato plants on the back porch. I planted basil seeds in each of the galvanized tubs but so far we only have basil popping up in one of the tubs.
The pole beans are looking good!
And last but not least… The strawberry patch. Or rather Lucy’s strawberry patch. I think she knows berry season is right around the corner because she’s been checking her patch multiple times a day. I’ve pretty much given up all hope of harvesting any strawberries this year. 😉
Gardening… It’s cool. Even when you have to share your harvest with your dog.

P.S. How is YOUR garden coming along? Are you harvesting anything yet?
