Last week was a good mix of rain and heat, and Edible Alley has pretty much exploded.

Nothing more than the snap peas though.

They are almost to the top of the rigging and have started to bloom – and such pretty white flowers!

The beans aren’t quite as tall, but they are blooming too! It won’t be long to bean time now!

The cucumbers aren’t climbing the rigging just left, but they are busting out all over the place. The leaves have gotten huge!

I have four squash plants!!! I’ve got some more seeds started, just incase these ones kick off, but I’m happy they are finally moving. They should grow pretty quick from here on out.

The chives and catnip are finally starting to sprout, but check out the parsley! It’s a little jungle. Now I’m not actually growing this parsley to eat – I’ve planted it for the swallowtail butterflies. Hopefully they will lay some eggs and we can watch the caterpillars devour this pot.

It did pick up some new strawberries plants. Home Depot had this bucketful for a very good price. I’ve got to split them up and plant them out into the strawberry box.

So things are doing quite well, but this experiment is far from over!
