Red stem celery

Crooked squash.

Cabbages growing beautifully.

Bonny Bell pepper flowering.

Baby zuchini.

Zuchini flower, edible.

Can you see the apple bud.

This year, abundant cherries. May need to get a net, before the birds beat me to it.

Plums is doing great too.

Some new seedlings, emerging.  Did not labeled them, well - have to wait for them to grow before I can identify them.

The one on the left looks like a chilli plant, while the one on the bottom, I don't know.  It has nice purplish red leaves and stem.

Sweet Peas












Cucumber.

Cherry Pepper, budding.

Potatoes.

Spearmint and 1 herb (don't know the name). This unknown herb is use by vietnamese as a condiment to their soup. Taste like 'laksa' leaves, or curry leaves.

Swiss chard, from last year plant.  Nice and tender. I sliced it into thin strips and stir fried it with fried rice.

Tomato plants growing well, and flowering.

Cabbages look healthy.

Cucumber seeding attack by slugs.

Blossoms

Beautiful blossoms, from apple, pear and cherry trees. See if you can spot which blossoms belongs to which type of tree.

It took me less than an hour to reposition the raise bed, also an opportunity to re-mixed the soil mixture. When I was doing that I found a lot of earthworms, which was good and also 4 white grubs - not too good.

This afternoon , decided to reposition one of the old 2x4 raised bed to make way for another new 2x4. It was so easy, just lift the frame up. and since I have some sprouting and live plants on it, I have to carefully transplant them over.

You can see from the pictures below.

Make another 2x4 for cabbages, yesterday. Add sprinkler system. You  can see that the sprinkler is working. 1 sprinkler head is good for a 2 ft sq. or a 3 ft sq. A much better irrigation system  plan than the one which I had from last year. Less sprinkler heads also means less water wastage.

Time for cleaning up and planning what to plant for this year.

Here are some pictures of what is left from last year, swiss chards, and beets.

Add  Zuccini, tomatoes (Roma), Yellow crooked neck squash, and cucumber.

 From left to right, Roma, cucumber, crooked  neck squash.

Zuccini, growing well and beautiful, when it reached 10 inches, I'll harvest it.

Pickled Cucumber, about 5 inches now. Will be in my tummy tomorrow - crunchy.

Watermelon, what happened to the stripes?

It is getting heavier - estimate about 2 lbs now. Wonder how big it will grow.

Korean Melon, maybe it is still too young. It is sweet and fragrance + crispy.

Will leave one for it to seed. The rest will see how big it can grow.

Corn, isn't it a bit late for the season.....

Japanese egg plant.
