There's more blooming in the garden besides all the fruit trees.
 |
| Volunteer Sweet Peas |
The Sweet Peas are germinated from 2011 seeds. They are pretty much growing wherever the pod exploded so they are scattered around the garden but some were planted intentionally under a trellis. Once the trellised vines are finished, green beans will use the support.
 |
Nasturtium
|
The Nasturtiums are growing along with the Sweet Peas under a trellis. Some are growing under a support where zucchini will soon be planted.
 |
| Strawberries - Duh! |
Strawberries are blooming well but the berries aren't making it into the kitchen. They are falling prey to the gardener (me) who cannot resist eating raw peas either.
 |
| Marigolds |
The Marigolds (French) are doing so-so in the tomato bed. I believe I'll plant more soon to replace any the feable plants. They were stung with a recent cold spell. These plants are in place to team with Basil and Celebrity Tomatoes to discourage nematoads.
I'm looking for companion plants for the boysenberries; but I don't believe there is any recommendations. Only if aphids are a problem are marigold companions recommended.

Wow .. your blooms are gorgeous! We are at least 6 weeks away from planting sweet peas and nasturtiums or the garden for that matter. That means months away from a bloom. I'll have to just 'live' though yours.
Great looking sweet pea! A volunteer too!
What a wonderful looking Sweetpea. I love the colors in it. And Strawberries! My favorite, so yummy.
