One Hundred Dollars a Month

Last night as I was walking through our garden I noticed there were a few fruits and vegetables that were doing exceptionally well. The raspberries for instance. I am pretty convinced there will be a bumper crop of berries this year.

The raspberry patch has been buzzing with activity for the last week and a half and the sound of bees is so loud at times I almost want to record the sound.

My only question is, where is the hive?

Our 12 blueberry bushes are bursting with so many tiny {and some not so tiny} berries I cannot wait to see how many we will end up with this year. My fingers are crossed that Lucy will not discover them.

The sugar snap peas. Oh my word they are beautiful! I think I’ll harvest them on Monday and make something delicious. Do you have any favorite fresh pea recipes I should try?

I don’t know what it is about cabbage, but I think it’s one of the most beautiful vegetables to photograph. The purple cabbages even more so.

Oh and pears, I’m pretty convinced this year we’ll get a bumper crop of those too. Last year we harvested 7 pears from 2 trees {the most we’ve ever harvested}. This year there are to many tiny little pears to count. The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird has her eye on them.

The rhubarb! I planted 2 rhubarb crowns last year and this year they are flourishing.  The only thing is they are planted in a really odd spot along side the house and I desperately need to move them. I’ve never moved an existing rhubarb plant before. Have you? If I move it will it bloom {?} grow like this next year or will I kill it in the move?

Does anyone know for sure?

And last but not least. The potato, tomato, carrot  and lettuce steel drum that was planted by Andy.

What a mess. I’m pretty sure tomatoes and potatoes are not companion plants, but they both seem to be thriving at this point so I don’t want to move anything. It’s basically just a hot mess of green and a little hard to see, but I wanted to share anyway.

So what’s new in your garden?

Do you foresee having a bumper crop this year? If so, with what fruit or vegetable?
