I’m adding a measuring stick today to record the progress of a few items in the garden. Above is a Scarlet Nantes Carrot planted 10/05/09.
Jaune D’Or Ovale Radishes planted 04/28/10.
Evergreen Bunching Onions planted 04/18/10.
O’Henry Peaches planted 01/12/09. This is the tree’s 2nd season. Each season it has produced fruit.
Red Flame Grapes planted January 2009. Like the peach, the grapes are in their 2nd season. Each season fruit was produced.
Henderson’s Pink Ponderosa planted 03/01/10. All the tomatoes are ready to be planted in the ground. As soon as Farmer MacGregor finishes building the supports, the planting can begin. Some of the tomato plants have buds on them.
Sweet Pinkie Strawberries planted 03/01/09. This variety is really thriving in the cinder blocks. During this coming winter they need to be thinned.
This evening’s harvest of Sweet Pinkies. No chance of me being scooped up as a hand model. Oh well.
Candy Hybrid Onions planted 09/20/09.
Here’s a seed head on a Candy Hybrid Onion.
Ladybug dining on parsley.
Rio Red Grapefruit planted 02/14/09. The fruit seems to be staying on the tree this year although some are dropping off.
Variegated Pink Lemon planted in a pot fall 2009.
That’s how a few things are measuring up in the garden today.

Would type more but am in awe of your gardening ability. Must remember not to show this page to kids or they will be expecting better things from our lower 40.
I really like the idea of using the ruler to show the relative size of your crops.
Your harvest picture is making me crave strawberries!
Ooh fun! I want to get measuring now. And you do look like a hand model. :)
*Trash - really, Trash. That's some handle. Put your kids to work in the lower 40. THAT will give them something to grumble about.
*Missus - the scale idea comes from geologic schooling.
*Siren - perhaps a hand model for hard work.
