The second reason is that my camera just went out and died. So I can't show any new pictures of how things have been progressing. I finally have been able to get the puppies out of the garden, so things have been growing!
I'm starting to see a few flowers on the tomato plants so I can't wait to start seeing some little guys. The herbs have been doing great, and I've been able to pick a couple little red strawberries off my hanging plant.
My biggest surprise though has been the leafy plants. Now the salad mix was pretty big when I got it, so after I harvested that for the first time it was just a question of how fast it would grow back. But the spinach had a couple near misses with Spock so I really wasn't sure whether or not they would recover. Imagine my surprise when I see leafs ready to harvest this early in May! Assuming they recover as well as the salad mix plant does, I don't think I'll have to buy any lettuce this summer.
So let me get this straight... after spending months figuring out how to keep one dog out of the garden, you get another? I can see it now... Spock boosting Bones over the fence.
