Not much to update today. The green beans have started to set a good number of pods. These are the healthiest plants I’ve ever had thanks to the 6” of compost.
Over in the root crop bed, the beets seem pretty happy. Some of the bare spots are starting to fill in.

The beets and turnips are coming along nicely. There are a couple of spots that have not yet germinated, but that’s to be expected. They will pop up soon enough and fill in the row.
In the seed rack, the garlic chives and basil have really popped up.

More beets and turnips are popping up in the raised bed. We have germination from all varieties.
The whispy first leaves (Cotyledons) are emerging on the dill. These look so delicate but they grow int such a hardy plant.
Late yesterday I had some time to build the trellis for the snow peas. This is made out of bamboo lashed together with garden twine. I put a string about every 12” for the vines to latch onto as they begin their climb. The variety I planted (Melting Sugar) should reach about 4 feet high.

We have signs of life in the raised beds! Radishes and some beets planted earlier this week have popped up.
We also have some action from the marigolds and the first true leaves coming out in the spinach.
At this point we should really start seeing things take off all throughout the garden.
