These look very tasty!
I had no idea it was possible to buy live plants online. Good to hear that’s a thing and they arrived alive.
Beets and carrots, tbey are so yummy. Mybeets are just poking their heads out and the carrots are not up yet. It has been cold. Thos weekend is warm and wonderful, so things are sprouting.

One of my raised beds is strawberries only!
I was pretty late to start this year so I haven’t harvested anything yet, but I can’t wait to eat the first veg of the season.

Here are some impressions from my garden:
Strawberries
Spinach, kohlrabi and lettuce just starting to sprout. Everything is so much greener now. Maybe I take some update pics tomorrow.
Blueberries in my recently built beds
My son’s potatoes
He started experimenting with peanuts and melons this year.
So I’m currently building a small greenhouse

A little update from the garden:
The grapes have grown a lot
I was late getting seeds in and a lot of the seeds disappeared (I haven’t caught the perpetrator yet) but in about two weeks I expect to be able to eat the first lettuce, rucola and radishes. I’ve grown cucumber, zucchini and pumpkin plants indoors and they will go outside as soon as this cold period is over.
This is an old drawer! I love the tiny purple flowers in the chives.
Strawberries! These 4 are Honeoye, I’ve also planted Salsa and Elvira. My grandfather used to grow Elvira and his strawberries were delicious! We used to grow Lambada at home but I couldn’t find those.

How are your gardens doing?

I get so happy every time I spot a new tiny green plant! Yesterday it was raining most of the day, I went out at 4pm-ish and nothing had changed from Saturday, I checked again at 6.30pm and suddenly 8!!! peas had sprouted! It happens so quickly you almost see them grow.

I love seeing all of your veggie gardens!
We have a big garden, but no time (Marc) or health (me) to make it useful.
Just two big lawns, bordered by beech hedges and around one of the lawns some (totally overgrown) borders with a couple of plants strong enough to survive the neglect.
Way in the back, in our former chicken coop, we have a small apple tree, pear tree and walnut tree and some bamboo. Also neglected.
Even the ‘table garden’ I started a couple of years ago on the ugly tarmac between the garden en the house is almost empty, apart from some hydrangias.
Ah well, perhaps another year.

Who knows, maybe another year! I’ve wanted to have a real garden for years but I also lacked the energy to do it, and Mr. Imma didn’t have time, so it was an overgrown wasteland for years (it already looked like that when we bought it). After several years of saving we hired the heavy work out last year and I don’t regret that because it took 2 experienced men a full week. We would never have been able to pull that off.
This is my 14th week at home and I go outside for 5-10 minutes of gardening several times a day. If I had still worked outside of the house I certainly wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.

I’m up here in Washington, so I get it about the slugs and the blackberries! It’s amazing how they spring up out of nowhere. I’ve got ducks! They are so funny. I’ve got them penned up right now until my garden gets a little more established, otherwise they’ll uproot all the tiny plants.
What is the big plant in the top right corner of the first picture? And what kind of fruit tree do you have there?
That is a green globe artichoke in its second year. I’ve already harvested six artichokes from it since taking this picture. The tree is an apple. I have no idea what kind. We bought this house a year ago and last year it produced one sad apple. This year it is covered. I hope to can them. We shall see.

That is cool! I’ve never thought about how artichokes grow! I hope your apple tree does well. We’ve got a big old one here. It produces a lot, but unfortunately, they are all infested with coddling moth worms. 
We put moth traps up in the tree last year, but the dumb dog tore them down!

I love seeing everyone’s garden! I harvested the first 6 strawberries and 2 radishes today and they were gone before I thought of taking a picture. But the strawberries were soooooo good, big and red and very sweet!
