Fruiting!

Things are popping up quicker than I can keep up with picture taking. It's very exciting.
Here are the Nastrtums. I continue to be disapointed that they have yet to flower but the leaves are yummy while we wait for the flowers.


















The dill is super yummy and going crazy growth wise. Should think of more recipes that include dill. Love it.










Our first 3 tomatos! I'm so excited. This year I want to make our own ketchup as well as the usual canned tomato products. Some cherry tomatos have started too. I love cherry tomatos.










And here is our pleasant surprise. We have 3 very annoying holly trees that we're trying to love in our backyard. The reason we find them annoying is because their leaves hurt SOOO bad when you step on them or even touch them once they've fallen to the grass. We prefer to go shoe-less and the holly leave deter that habit, unfortunately. Behind the three holly trees though is a boisenberry tree! We've never had boisenberry's but so far so good. I'm not sure how much we'll really be able to harvest because the squirrles and birds seem just as excited as we are about the small black fruit. That's okay. We can share.
