Plant Progress

My camera recently experienced a rather anti-climactic death after taking some garden photos...so here is a long awaited update assisted by the help of a borrowed camera. As you can see...the garden has made incredible progress in the last month and I can't wait to get some of the sprouts in the ground so they can keep growing! It's looking like we will return to the gorge within a couple weeks to a huge garden plot so the plants will only have to hold out in their little starter plots for a while longer.

In other news...I have finished my first year of graduate school. It is a bizarre feeling but a good one. I can't believe I am half way done. I have a great summer ahead, with a best friend's wedding, a trip to see family, an internship in the Gorge conducting a community food assessment, and lots of time to work in my own garden and hopefully have a happy harvest! Enjoy the new pics!

Basil: looking fuller, but still not 100%...not sure if I will ever be an epic basil farmer.

Mint: filling out its pot...it's going to be Mojito time soon!

Oregon Spring Tomato...looking amazing and already has 4 or 5 fruits on it!

60 starts in the varieties of cucumber, eggplant, broccoli, chard, and cantaloupe...they are so cute!
