spring/summer garden

Each year our backyard gets a little better, and I can’t wait for another 5 years when it’s full and lush and we’re growing all of our own produce :). That will never happen but it would be nice, right?dsc_0078
Take a look at some of our spring crops - old german heirloom tomatoes, cilantro (and its seeds, coriander), green and red grapes, yellow bell peppers, chives, strawberries and lemons. I’m hoping the pear tree fruits next year.dsc_0084

seeded cilantro. after the cilantro runs its course, you let the stems dry up and then remove the seeds after the flowers fall off. let the seeds dry out for 2 weeks and then seal ‘em up for planting next year, or use them as they are - coriander.
