It's been hot and dry, so it decided to skip the 'lets make herb' part, understandable. The flowers still can make a nice pesto! > ! > > We've got marigolds going around the property! > ! > > The nasturtiums are in full bloom, and delicious in our salads. > > ! > > The tomatoes are doing their thing, yay! > > !

Harvested potatoes today!
Back in January, I had a small potato from the market that went green, so I decided to quarter it and plant it in this old wicker basket. The soil eventually got heaped up to slightly over halfway. Not too bad!

A gorgeous dragonfly in the garden.
It's lovely to have these critters flying around the garden. I really need to get on iNaturalist and start learning the names.

My square foot garden
Here's my square foot garden! It's a new as of this winter. Currently I have:
- Tomatoes
- French Filet Beans
- Jade Bush Beans
- Spinach
- Lacinto Kale
- Red Leaf Lettuce
- Little Gem Lettuce
- Leeks
- Onions
- And Scallions, Oh My!
- Radishes
- Carrots
- Early Jalapeño, but it's very sad :(
Also: far too many vegetables in pots and bags in Garden Overflow Nexus One: like pumpkins, arugula, potatoes, more tomatoes (oh no!), strawberries, parsley....

Today's harvest
Today's harvest! Red leaf lettuce, little gem lettuce, radishes, and carrots I picked too early because I was too curious!

The Fernery Garden
Hello and welcome to Tacoma Gardening. I'm David, just look for the nearest large fern - I'll be behind it! I'm running a new 4' x 4' Square Foot Garden this year, with intents to expand to a second raised bed in the fall. I've also got a lot of container pots! Keep tuned to this community for pictures of me bragging (or sobbing!) about my plants!
