start a fruit and vegetable garden

I hope I can get my garden right on my latest try.

And everything’s sprouting!

So far I have a half barrell on my deck, I have planted a Raspberry cane in the middle, with strawberry plants & some pea seeds round the edge.
The Raspberry looks very healthy & bushy, the strawberries have flowers & the pea plants have appearred.
I’m even getting good at remembering to water it all!

This last weekend I dug out a big fennel plant that had taken root in our rock wall:

Then, we planted our first batch of seeds: arugula, swiss chard, beets, and snap peas.

Then, the sun came out hardcore for a few days and I’m hoping they’ve all been inspired to germinate.

Took a day to get rid of all the weeds. We also bought a bunch of vegetables to plant, which we’ll do right after I dig up one last giant fennel plant in the wall.

Russell and Lia have a 10’ x 10’ plot at the Belltown pea patch and they’ve generously volunteered to share it with us as we learn how to grow fruits and vegetables for ourselves. I’m super excited.
