Garden Update: May 4

The summer garden is really starting to take shape! This week I pulled plants, prepped beds, and planted a few more starts in the garden. So much more to do, and the weeds in the native garden is a bit scary, but, for now, veggies are growing!

AVS garden cleans up so nicely :).

Aaaand possibly my favorite color in the garden, pomegranate blossoms. Always something to look forward to in our garden!

Red roses are always a good thing. Endive and cabbage planted in the box in front.

Potatoes are growing well! Already looking forward to our "treasure hunt" when we dig them up. :)

And then there are strawberries. Just, the best.

Poppies are showing their glowing face!

Plant kale: check! Wouldn't be the AVS garden without some kale growing somewhere!

The aloe is flowering under the nopal and looks beautiful! Like little fireworks.

I decided to grow some chickpeas this year...curious to see how they grow!

Nopal is flowering! Soon will be covered in juicy red fruits. Mmmm. Young paddles are almost ready for harvest!

Found this volunteer Cupani Sweet Pea by the compost bins. Such a sweet surprise.

The borage has completely taken over this corner of the garden! It buzzes with bees....
