This years garden is finally coming along… The harvest schedule is about 2-3 weeks behind previous years due to the wet Spring we had in the Seattle Area. I don’t mind the delay, as long I’m still able to pick my baskets of fresh home grown produce every other day. 
I am currently swimming in Strawberries… So far we’ve made Chocolate
I’m also enjoying Sugar Snap Peas & Snow Peas… Besides eating them raw out of the garden, we are enjoying them in Stir-Fry.
But the garden veggie I’m most anxiously for … Green Beans… And lot’s of them! Let’s hope it’s a bumper crop this year.
How about YOU? What are you patiently waiting for?
Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces
It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 
I’m growing peas for the first time this year- what type of support to they need? i saw you had a black triangular support……?
Thanks! jealous of those perfect strawberries!
Since I tend to grow “pole” peas I use a 5′ tri-legged trellis I purchased at the Farmer’s Market about 10 years ago. You can typically find inexpensive trellis at Fred Meyer or Home Depot.
Went out to water the garden last night…and noticed my dog made a nice comfy bed in my basil… :0(
Bummer
You’re making me jealous. Especially of the strawberries. Maybe you should come do a garden for me.
You’re funny.
Mavis, what can I do about bugs eating my green bean leaves? they are preventing them from growing well. i am getting a pint of strawberries each day, which is wonderful! Would love to see your cake recipe so we can do it ourselves.
Lot’s of people have suggested using a spray bottle filled with dish soap and water on the leaves to keep the bugs away…
indirectly related–I live in south Meridian. If anyone has use for some lavender, stop by & get some to dry or whatever (will get a f/u comment thru here)
Mavis, strawberry freezer jam is awesome and super easy! Also, there are coupons for Ball pectin $1/1 in the 6/26 SS I believe, and also some coming up in this Sunday’s paper. Would be great to double this weekend too!
By the way, I saw the Ball pectin on sale at Albie’s last week 2 for $9. Not sure if it is still on sale…..

Just wanted to say thank you for recommending the book The all New Square Foot Garden. I loved it!!! I cannot wait to implement it after I harvest all I can out of my single row garden area. And…and…I am super excited to start a compost pile ASAP!
Thank you agian~
Michele, that is a great book and what I base my gardening off of. it’s great for small spaces, and perfect for OCD minds like my own.
I tell everyone about SFG!
