For the first time since i was in grad school, i have a garden! A friend in the berkeley hills asked me if i could take over the food part of his garden from what was already growing in the house his family bought as well as plant more food.
There are already lemon, apple, apricot, pluot and orange trees in decent shape and getting better. Abundant fruit setting on the apples, apricot and pluot. Not great yields from the lemons.
There were beds of strawberries, artichokes, blackberries, raspberries, and asparagus in really bad shape but i have weeded, fertilized, added comcpost, mulched, watered them back to good shape and the artichokes are about to start offering some delights to my kitchen.

And into the ground i have been planting:
daikon
radish
turnip
choy sum
burdock
carrot
4 types of tomatos
3 types of chilis
mizuna
raddichio
red oak lettuce
a green leaf lettuce
peas
pea pods
long beans
3 varieties of cucumbers
zucchini
yellow squash
kabocha
coriander
basil
chrysanthemum
gold beets
red beets
cioga beets
tomatillo
blue lake beans

and in the green house are coming up
more chilis, squashes, pumpkins, thai basil, parsley, cilantro, basil, various asian greens and more

This is fun :)
