NJ is called the Garden State for a reason.

We've got lots of things popping up in our garden--lettuce, radishes, carrots, parsley, pumpkins, peas, squash, jalapenos. Right now the lettuce and radishes are ready to eat. Oh, and we had two asparagus shoots...leftover planting from the previous owners. They were really good but two shoots don't go very far. I finally understand why asparagus is so expensive...you need lots of land to get enough to eat in one sitting.

Tom had to pick all of the cherries off of the tree because they were starting to rot (or get some weird fungus type thing?) and the birds were starting to eat them. Unfortunately, our other cherry tree didn't do well either. We may have to get rid of both and just pick them at the farm down the street. Same goes for our peach trees. They seem to be growing some weird fungus or something.
