First raspberries today (2) and strawberries on Friday (5)! I've finally figured out a pest-repellent strawberry protector - copper wire mesh wrapped as a bag around the berries.
The forsythia is out of control (in desperate need of pruning). The lamb's ears are far bigger and taller than I ever thought they'd be (I may try moving them to the back yard where there's more room). The sorrel grew way out of control, so Mark pruned it down - hopefully it will come back as a nice, attractive plant without tall flowering stalks. The rose is smaller this year than last year (probably a good thing).
We're planning to make more self-watering planters - the squash are far happier in there than anywhere else.
The lemon thyme is blooming with tiny purple flowers. I thought it was blooming earlier this spring, but now realize they must have been bright yellow new leaves.
