Garden update

I'm excited about the potato plants dying - it means that it's almost time to dog up the spuds!



There have been a couple of attempts at flowers and fruit from the strawberry plants, but not much success yet. I've started giving it small amounts of liquid fertilizer.


The Lily of the Valley plants that have been here for a few years are once again blooming.


The peas had died back after the first harvest of ten or so pods, but now one of the plants is sending up more shoots.


Nothing is happening with the raspberry plants.


The weeds are growing like, well, you know. The foxglove and columbine are dying off. The lupine never grew much, which surprised me since it's a common plant on the nearby hills.


I think it's too hot and early to plant anything right now... Not totally sure though; I'm just an amateur!
