Garden Update #2

Perhaps this will be a weekly thing.
I moved the aspargus (second row - you can’t see them very well in the photo) and added a frame upon which the peas will be able to climb (string to be added) once they start growing. The soil is crap - it looks okay when working it but after it sits for a while it starts looking crusty and clayey. No sign of the peas, lettuce, spinach or radishes that I planted last week. But it was a cold week.
The vegetable garden is now more. I tilled it this morning. The raspberry canes will remain and soon I’ll be planting a couple of fruit trees. I planted three last year - plum, cherry and pear and all are doing well. Unfortunately, I tihnk I plannted them too close together. Even more unfortunate is that they all need a cultivar to grow fruit - which means three more trees. Two in this patch, maybe three, two next the house on the opposite side of the driveway and the others? North of the house? I need more land!!
The tulips are doing nicely, as you can see. Spring is wonderful, full of promise and life.
