First Strawberry 2012

First strawberry of the year. #gardening

This is the first ripe strawberry to come out of my garden this year. Pretty soon I plan to have dozens. I planted a shitload of strawberries this year. It is only a matter of time before my army of succulent strawberries are ready to take over the world. Or…. get turned into jam and pies. Whichever.

Herbs Freshly Picked from the Garden

Herbs freshly picked from the garden.

The garden is coming along rather nicely; even during this drought that we’re currently experiencing in northern Indiana. I’ve had to resort to watering in the evenings due to the severe lack of rain. My herbs have been doing exceptionally well. The basil, oregano, and thyme are doing great. However, my spinach is not doing so hot. Despite the watering it just doesn’t seem to like this dry weather. Boooooo. I’m hoping that we’ll be getting some rain soon because I have been wanting to have a few bonfires and this burn ban is really bumming me out.
