It is amazing how much damage they can do if you don't find them quickly.<br /><br />That is a really nice spinach harvest. Mine was not nearly so big. I still had plenty to freeze and did that last weekend.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-8745153230548865302009-05-26T22:17:12.581-07:002009-05-26T22:17:12.581-07:00Dan, you really need to try the soil blocks, I'm s...Dan, you really need to try the soil blocks, I'm sold on them.

I harvested the last of the spinach yesterday and blanched/froze it too. It will probably end up in lasagna or cannelloni later.<br /><br />The melons are looking very nice. The ones I started are just growing true leaves. They were started in peat pots, those things are such a pain. They seem to dry out in an hour in the sun.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-40692137353021131892009-05-26T21:03:26.639-07:002009-05-26T21:03:26.639-07:00KitsapFG, I'm getting tired of the greens, I'm rea...KitsapFG, I'm getting tired of the greens, I'm ready for the tomatoes!<br /><br />Sifonian, it's working great. I get quite a bit of overflow from the first in line before the last one begins to flow, but it happens to overflow into some marigolds that don't get watered by the sprinklers so it's all good. I just turn the faucet on for a minute or two about every other day. You're welcome for the tour, I love taking the photos!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-29261710133303676812009-05-26T20:51:16.246-07:002009-05-26T20:51:16.246-07:00Your garden and yard always looks so amazing.

Glad you savored the first strawberry.<br /><br />I just did a blog entry on my website about harvesting, blanching, and freezing spinach. It's always the first preserving effort for the new garden season. I am ready for the peas and broccoli to be ready for harvest - as we have been eating heavily from spring greens and I am ready to move on!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-38003091592281554182009-05-26T20:20:40.073-07:002009-05-26T20:20:40.073-07:00Liisa, I ate that strawberry tonight!

Then they really took off. I hope the pole beans do the same, but they are really slow. I am happy the beets distracted the leaf miners, but they look so UGLY! Beet greens can be one of the prettiest tings in the garden when they are pristine. I just hate to look at mine.<br /><br />I can't wait for that petunia to get large and spill out over the sides of the pot! I hope it doesn't get too large and hide the plants below, but I guess I can always keep it pinched back.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-36092708719227583042009-05-26T10:09:45.753-07:002009-05-26T10:09:45.753-07:00Your garden looks lovely!
