I hope the next pictures aren't of dead plants

This is the first fruits of our garden. I suppose technically we should have offered it up as a tithe. Maybe that's why I got smote with bloody knuckles.

You can see that the radishes and peas are doing well. The lettuce is also starting to look more salad-like. The corn isn't looking very healthy though. It may have sprouted too early and gotten frost bitten, or the pelting with hail stones may have broken its spirit. I think the onions are all dead. Maybe we'll cheat and buy some onion starts but not tell you when we post the next pictures.

We certainly did not cheat and buy strawberry starts. Just don't scroll down to the previous post and realize that there were no strawberry plants pictured, nor did I mention planting them. The fact that they are producing mutant strawberries should in no way be taken as indicative of the character of the care giver.

Here's another radish, actually the third one deemed large enough to be plucked out of the earth and devoured. Some of the radish seeds fell into the clay outside the garden and were actually growing faster than the ones inside. Turns out it was all show and no fruit. I tried to transplant some of the larger ones to better soil, but turns out ripping them from the ground and burying them again is not actually transplanting.

This is my brick patio. I made it with bricks that I "scavenged" from nearby construction sites. It is related to the garden because the clay I removed for the bricks is the clay that leveled a spot for the garden to sit on. Now I need to build a bench, plant some flowers around it, and get rid of the excess bricks. Maybe I could sell them to looters at a riot.
