Wyatt and Bayleigh helped in the garden. We hilled up some of the potatoes and then we went to pick strawberries. Hilling up the potatoes was more help than Meme could handle. The ground around the raised beds are not perfectly even and they had a hard time walking around in the garden without falling into the beds. So we did what we could and then we moved over to strawberries.
It was easier picking strawberries. They got to find the red ones and as you can see, picking strawberries is the perfect height for 2 and 4 year olds. Wyatt ate some and then he wanted to save the rest of his for Papa. Bayleigh liked them so much that you will notice that she did not end up with any in her basket. They all ended up in her tummy. This is the first time we picked strawberries this year. There are tons to be picked in the future.
We have a plethora of baby lettuce. I hope we can eat it all before the hot weather makes it bolt and turn bitter. If you look closely you will notice some radishes coming up along the right edge. In the back beds are onions, pea pods, and a variety of tomatoes. Not pictured are 2 full beds of potatoes, 1 full bed of october beans, and then a scattering of peppers, more radishes, carrots, squash, cucumbers and Kale. Some of the older kale that overwintered has bolted but the flowers are pretty so I am leaving them there for now.
