Two days picking from the asparagus patch.
We can’t eat it all so every week the local senior citizens kitchen gets a donation.
We usually stop picking around June 1, letting it go to fern. Big dose of fertilizer and a foot of wheat straw on top to keep the summer weeds down.

No big garden for us. We are gone in the RV too much to take care of one.

I picked the first Prime Ark Freedom blackberry off my bushes yesterday and let my wife have it. She said it was really good. I can hardly wait for them to really take off.
Got a second mess of squash this morning. I know what I’m having for lunch today

My little squash patch is really coming on. Sunday, I picked 18, Monday, I picked 22, and yesterday, I picked 15. I’ve sautéed two pans with a little butter and garlic salt, and I will probably do that again today. It’s so good.

Dang it man you are squashin it, our plants are just now seeing flowers.. LOOKING good..!!
We're eating asparagus, carrots, lettuce and plenty of radish.. The rain has everything lookin good.. A few weeks and stuff should be picture worthy.. Made 2 piles of the cows pooey hay and once the composting heat subsided planted taters in 1 and sweet taters in the other we'll see how it turns out.. We made some of our own sweet tater slips and also bought some off of etsy since they weren't available local..

This is my first year with raised beds, and it’s a learning experience. I planted things way too close together. My cherry tomatoes are covering a couple of my jalapeño pepper plants, and my squash plants are covering each other making them hard to pick.
