This has been a goal of mine.) I&#8217;m trying to keep up with succession planting while it&#8217;s still cool enough at nights to germinate.\n<p><div style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2902\/34029655782_95711e21a2_b.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"321\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Cherry belle radishes<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li>Onions, garlic, and shallots all look great. We are looking for garlic scapes now and should see them any minute. This stuff will be harvested around June.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve planted new green beans (mostly for market), tomatoes (not for market :), and peppers, and they&#8217;re looking good. I&#8217;ll be putting in cucumbers and melons soon.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve replanted new artichokes since the old ones got eaten down to the roots last year.<\/li>\n<li>The pomegranates are blooming nicely so we&#8217;re hopeful for fruit this year.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve been eating strawberries and mulberries, and the figs and blackberries\u00a0are greening up.<\/li>\n<li>One thing I&#8217;m excited about this year is growing some gourds for a friend of mine who hopes to make them into drums. The seeds have germinated, and they look strong. Stay tuned for updates on that.<\/li>\n<li>The hedgerow and its flowers continue to be a work in progress. This year with the new fence, I&#8217;m more optimistic. I also planted some hearty native perennial flowers near the house this year. (And I said I&#8217;d never do &#8220;landscaping!&#8221;) They&#8217;re really beautiful, and I&#8217;m surprised how much they brighten things up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 413px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2904\/33994175016_06b81a082b_b.jpg\" width=\"403\" height=\"603\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>flowers by the house<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love spring here.
