One of the first blossoms on the peas. The weather has been really nice here lately and things are growing well.
Some pea tendrils.
One little broccoli floret. That's not enough for a stir fry.

Pea tendrils and other garden scenes
This is a tendril from one of the Tall Telephone pea plants.
Last year I didn't save the radish seeds from most of the plants, because I had several different varieties growing at the same time. When I pulled out the old plants I didn't worry about collecting the seeds. The yard near the garden bed has a lawn of radishes, California poppies and some broccoli.
The oregano is starting to get new leaves. I harvested a bunch this weekend and put it in the dehydrator. It's perfect for tomato sauces and such.
Lettuce plants have seeds that kind of look like dandelions seeds with the fuzzy end. I didn't get to collect too much seed, but many fell on the nearby soil. This is one of them growing on it's own.
This is one of the biggest broccoli plants, so far this year.

Pumpkin harvest
I decide the pumpkins were ready for harvest. They didn't get as dark orange as I thought, but I compared them to some other pumpkins I saw recently and decided they were ready. There is one more still on the vine. It got a later start.
Peas are about 7 inches tall now and reached the bottom of the trellis.
The largest of the broccoli plants.

Winter seedlings
Today's sunflower. I'll check tomorrow between 10 - noon to see if there are any honey bees interested in this sunflower.
The far right raspberry is really starting to get red now. I didn't realize how many raspberries you can get off of one plant. I hope next year I get an even better crop. The second plant has not started to bloom. I don't think I will get any berries from it this year.
The first row are broccoli plants from seeds I collected from last year's plants.
The carrots are in the second and third row of this flat. I will carefully transplant them into the ground this weekend. I would have never planted carrots in a flat, but I took a class at Common Ground in Palo Alto, and they had success starting them in flats and transplanting them into the garden.
The back rows are broccoli seedlings from seeds that the front row were originally grown from. I want to see how the second generation does compared to the first. Click on the images to see a larger version. The detail is worth the extra click.
