Last weekend I fertilized everything so it's all been growing like mad.
A new addition to the container garden... my husband is trying to grow hops. He's a
home brewer so he wants to use them in his beers.
Our poor lemon tree has been stripped by
caterpillars. I never see them but you can see the damage.

cuc has tripled in size!
Look at all the flowers! If all goes well I should have a bumper crop.
Spinach looks much better after being fertilized. I finally have enough to harvest.
I was
reading in Dan Gill's column today that container plants need to be fertilized every 2 weeks.
I harvested a bunch of lettuce last week and now there's more.

I didn't think you needed to stake patio tomatoes but my were listing. It might have been from the strong winds we had. It's been a very blustery spring.
Baby tomato.
Twin napping behind the plants. I've let the cilantro bolt so I can harvest the (coriander) seeds. The white flowers are pretty as well.
The tomatoes are setting and a few are starting to turn red.
The lettuce is doing great. I keep harvesting and it keeps growing.
The spinach has bolted, which I was not aware it would do.
One of the hops plants is doing great. The others keep getting eaten as soon as they sprout. Here, part of a cardboard tube from TP protects a sprout from caterpillars.
The cucumbers need no comment. A few are strangely shaped. The thick part taste fine but the skinny parts are bitter.
