Other goings-on around the garden:
Last year we planted 12 strawberry plants. When the first set of blooms appeared, we followed my mother-in-law's advice and pinched off all of the buds. We continued for the first few months and harvested maybe a handful of berries. She swore it would help them develop strong roots over time.
Lettuce and wild anise. Any ideas for what to do with anise? So far we've eaten it straight and sprinkled it in salads. We have it growing all over the backyard.

Shayna, your kohlrabi is amazing!
that kohirabi looks lovely...waht a great color. I've never cooked with it before.
That kohlrabi is ridiculous.
I am jealous of the strawberries. I have never had any luck with them. It looks like I need to try your mom-in-law's trick!
MMmmm...looks like everything is growing beautifully!
Our nectarine tree has the same thing happening (only the blisters are red). I just discovered it the other day! I did some research and found that this is what they call "peach leaf curl." It affects other trees as well (like peaches!). It's a type of fungus. The simplest advice was to pick those leaves off when ever you see them and burn them, sooner being better than later as eventually it will bloom into a white powdery mildew. New leaves should then grow in that are free of disease. Supposedly it doesn't usually affect the fruit. Beautiful photos. Your garden is further along than ours!
what a fabulous garden! i got weeds!
