The raised beds are really bursting forth. Each week there is significant growth and fruit development. I have baby tomatoes on each tomato plant and lots of berries popping up everywhere. I will continue successive planting of greens and lettuce until and through June. I've decided that the new raised beds which are in the works will have Fall plantings. If they're done in time, I might even do some serious pumpkins in at least one. These beds will add another 72 square feet of vegetable growing space which will be designated as Fall and Winter crops. I figure that the addition of colorful kale, swiss chard, cabbages, lettuces and Asian greens will be cheerful Winter focal point when everything else has lost it's Spring/Summer luster.
