June 12, 2013 - First Strawberries Of The Season And Other Plants

 After many days of rain and cooler temperatures the sun has finally come out and it's warm.  My strawberries are very happy.  As you can see they are small yet very sweet.  It seems that the birds are loving the berries as much as we are.  Shoo birds go away!
 Here is my patio tomato plant and it's really doing well.  The green tomatoes are just starting to turn colour and in a few days we should have ripe tomatoes. 
 Here is my herb garden.  We've been enjoying the sage and parsley.  I can't say that I would go out of my way to plant this again but it's nice to have it right outside the kitchen when I need it.
 My cucumber plants are hiding under the table right now as we are about to get some nasty weather tonight.  These poor plants have taken more abuse than they should so I decided to give them a break and protect them.
 As you can see all of the plants have tripled in size with all of the rain and cooler temperatures.  It's rather muddy in the garden but everything is doing really well.

This is one of the two hanging baskets.  The other one is just as beautiful.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this entry.  Please send me your garden questions and I'd be more than happy to answer them for you.  Get out there and get gardening!
