Had to water with the hose again today because of the high heat and high winds. Was afraid my little seedlings would shrivel up! But while the new little seedlings may be struggling, the perennial crops are loving this opportunity to grow. The asparagus stalks grew 4-6 inches since yesterday! Unfortunately so did the weedy grass in the asparagus bed!
Even the the wheat seedlings that were barely visbile yesterday were 2-3 inches tall and thicker today.
I'm excited about the idea of grinding the wheat into flour to make bread this summer!
And the lettuce I planted last week sprouted---very tiny sprouts, but they're on their way!
Most impressive is the growth in the fruit garden! This photo shows the strawberries and raspberries:
Even the first little nubbin of growth on the grape vines:
And three of the blueberries are leafing out.
And the dwarf apple trees have leaves....but i suspect we'll have to wait a least another year for apples. Actually, they are so little, I can't imagine how their branches could support an apple!
