Val was up to visit last weekend and we decided to pull up some garlic for the pesto. Alas the cloves were not fully formed but it was still garlicy and tasty.
We have been eating peas from the vine for the last week or so, been awhile since updating the blog, busy with stuff. Watering everything a couple of times a day and fertilizing with llama manure tea.
The first plant to produce flowers on the dahlia plants. Things seem to be slow this year. Not sure if it was the late start planting and not getting plants started in pots. Surely must put the dahlias in the ground by May 1 next year.
Here are the potatoes with a row of brocolli behind. These really took off after putting the comfrey tea on last weekend. These plants are not getting any additional water, but are buried about a food down, so they are getting groundwater.
Summer squash next to the garlic. Thought we could be harvesting garlic soon but they are not ready yet. The squashes are doing really well. Probably need to build some trellises to keep them under control

Looking great! Russ told me you had flowers - seems early to me but heh - what does a southerner know about dahlias?
