In the chilly rain this morning we picked more of the Italian bush beans that grow under the heart-shaped leaves - it was our third time through to pick a small colander full. (The Polaroids are from a sunny day last week.) There were a few more strawberries too. We have regular fat red, sweet strawberries. (I don't know the specific name.) And then we have a few plants of alpine strawberries with berries thin and long and full of seeds. It's probably the name, but when I taste them I immediately think of the mountains or Maine summers.
Worms or caterpillars or something else had chewed holes in much of the brussel sprout plants. Everything else looks good - lots of onions and radishes ready to be picked. The squash, eggplant and cucumbers have all flowered. The tomatoes and peppers are getting taller. And the garlic flowers are in full bloom now. It's a good spring.
