strawberry blossoms

i planted comfrey last year in a pot because i was told it can spread and be difficult to kill. last fall i dumped it out and buried it in the bottom of the raised bed that now has the blueberries in it. i figured that'd kill it. nope. not only did it come back in the place raised bed where i had the pot planted, but it came back in the blueberry bed where it was buried under multiple feet of stuff! i let it grow in the first raised bed. i hope i dont come to regret that.


see the long long roots it sent up! over and over and over it keeps sending up more shoots and i keep pulling them out.


the first raised bed, asparagus in the back, daikon and rutabaga sprouting.


molly resting her chin on the edge of the raised bed where i blocked off access to the asparagus the dogs were helping themselves to.


the blueberry raised bed. still not much happening back in may.


the duke plant is starting to green up

strawberry patch - the fenced in part


the not fenced in part. i've been dumping dirt there for a few years (from leveling the pavers over by the greenhouse) and the strawberries sent out runners and populated the dirt pile. the dogs run thru this area so the plants there arent in the greatest shape. and when the strawberries did come in, puppy was helping himself.


my big maple tree.


my fire pit after the bonfire. i made charcoal! notice all the maple tree 'helicopters'. thats what fell overnight. this picture was taken the day after the bonfire. my whole yard was covered in them.
