Bees and Blossoms

I had a serious thinning session on the weekend which left me dizzy but satisfied, and I've tentatively planted some of the tomatoes outside, but other than that things are just growing along.

Here are some pictures of strawberry and raspberry blossoms, and the mason bee house (and one bee in the picture)

The Project

To grow my first vegetable garden in our yard in Nanaimo's old city for learning, healthy eating, and fun. For interest's sake I'll keep track of the economics; can this garden, made up of two 8x10 plots and some pots on the patio, produce at least $200 worth of food, which was the approximate cost of the soil, seeds and materials. (I know, I know, costs will be less over the years because I don't need to buy grow lights and pots every year, but just for the sake of this little experiment, lets set the bar high and shoot for $200).
