Garden Update Spring 2016

Thought it was well time for a garden update spring 2016. Things have been growing quickly! I planted radish, carrot, beet, lettuce and arugula seeds on May 6. Planted all the flowers on May 21, and the cemeteries and vegetables on May 25:

We had our first squash blossoms and the start of peppers on May 29:

And by May 31, things were really starting to look good. It’s been a fantastic year for hostas for some reason.

The Siberian Irises are in bloom, and the salvia looks great.

We had our first white globe radish out of the garden over the weekend and should be able to start pulling them regularly this week, along with the arugula. I did some supplemental lettuce planting, and added more beet seeds where they all didn’t come up. We have the start of tiny tomatoes and a good four peppers coming. It’s been hotter than normal, with lots of sun. I’ve been watering every night.

This is the best time of year to live in Michigan. Everything is fresh and growing.
