I finished digging a big chunk of the garden on the other side of the driveway (this is it's third year, and after extending it a lot last year I've pushed it even further this year). So far tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and some herbs and flowers planted. I have another chunk to dig and build up, but that will happen gradually and probably be ready for some fall stuff.

I've been picking about a pint a day of strawberries for the last couple of weeks. It's my tiny little square yard of berries, and it's funny how when neighbors stop by to say hello, the simple sight of fruit in the garden brings such a surprised and pleased reaction. We've all grown so far away from the earth, when growing fruit is a novelty.
