First Strawberry!

Today we picked the first Seascape strawberry.  It was big and yummy.  We cut it in half and ate it before I could take a photo.

The sweet potato slips are still not looking great, so I decided to try to start some of my own.  I bought a sweet potato at the market, cut it into a couple of big chunks, and suspended them in water with toothpicks.  I'm afraid it's a bit late to be doing this, but at least if it works well I'll know I can do it next year.

We've had showers for the last several days, which is good because my wrist is still not healed and I need the rest.

Yesterday we got an estimate ($2700) to put an automatic watering system in the vegetable beds.  It will make it easier for us to go away for short trips during the summer.
