GARDEN 2016 - UPDATE 3

SUN AND WATER

Garden committee experts are happily surprised every single year as the raspberries start to ripen. Other than the annual cutting in the fall very little is done for the raspberry bushes. There are no fertilizers added, no fancy soil aerating machines used, even regular watering is not done. It seems the more neglected the plants are, the more they thrive. This is a plant everyone needs to have in their garden. It takes very little yet gives so much. 
Every morning Lolli pops out to the garden to pick some raspberries to put atop of her yogurt.

The heat wave, combined with some added watering, has done wonders to the peas. They have become so big they are falling over and intertwining into neighbouring plants.

The parsnips had a slow start, but, as of late have flourished. The garden committee is excited to see what is happening below the surface.

And, some late planting (beans found in the bottom of a junk drawer) of beans are starting to flower.

Fine times in the garden this week.
