The garden is growing

Our garden is now in full swing.  We have picked some swiss chard and a handful of blue berries.  We have some small tomatoes, squash, and peppers growing.  But with all things there have been some disappointments-- the caterpillar invasion of the cilantro and now the parsley (I am getting good at identifying a variety of types of caterpillars), the first few tomatoes had blossom end rot so hopefully that has been corrected, and my cactus up an died since it was too wet (I was always told it was hard to kill cacti but this one lasted less than a week under my care).  Some of the successes have been reviving a dying raspberry bush and transplanting the runners off of the strawberries into a second pot- the more strawberries the better as far as I am concerned.  This week I did whip up some primavera using fresh basil from the garden.  As for Dennis the worms, he/they still appear to be fairly happy-- or at least they haven't said otherwise.  Here are the updated pictures of the garden.
