Pt 2- Strawberries, grapes, corner bed, leaning tower

First off, let me say, I am SOOO over this uber-short growing season, LOL. This time last year I was already harvesting tomatoes & cukes & such.

Anyhoo, we have peas, a small green tomato, grapes seem to be fairing well & we have some green strawberries. Well, here are the pics, I'll caption them so you know.


Peas:


My unfortunately flowering broc plants (but the flowers are yummy!):


My hopefully will not flower broc plants:


I transplanted some strangled by weeds lettuce to a dishpan:


Strawberries, YUM!


Grapevines & my leaning tower planter



I had 2 gorgeously long runners. With it being a hanging bag, I had to figure out how to root the runners. I chose to cut a peat pellet in half & half again. I took quarters of the pellets, laid the runners in them, wrapped them in saran wrap & tied them with hemp string. I'll let you know how these fare.


Snipped the mint from the top, cilantro next, then 2 basil & later weeded strawberries in the bottomest. I still need to get one more pot for the top. I'm a slacker, I know...


The grape "bunches are starting to spread & look like actual grape bunches we're accustomed to seeing (in the stores, sigh)



Broc & peas in one end of the corner bed:

Hopefully my elderberry plant doing something. Unfortunately, the other one isn't doing a thing :(

"....But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ...."
