The spinach is going crazy! We have several plants of spinach and have begun to cut it and eat it. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but it is really thriving! 
And the tomato plants are really doing well too! We've seen the first tomatos - still green for now, but anytime in the next week we should be able to start picking tomatos!
The herbs we have planted are also taking off well. The pepper plants (all the varieties) are doing well and looking good, but we haven't had any produce any yet. Well, except for the one bell pepper that Barkley decided he wanted to eat. <.< . The only thing that really hasn't done anything is the lettuce. For some reason it really didn't even sprout? I don't know...I tried a couple different batches to no avail. Oh well...we'll try again later.
And - the fruit trees have gotten past the flowering stage and have started to show some early signs of fruit!
The orange tree and the keylime tree...
AND! My big news! The first bloom on the apple tree! It's not just a stick in the ground anymore! Woo-hoo! I'm so excited! I hope this means it'll do well. I can't wait to see it grow! I'm a little worried about the 2nd apple tree b/c it's not getting as much sun as we would like and had planned for it, but I'm holding out to see if it starts to bloom yet. I'm hoping the amount of mid-day to afternoon sun it gets will be enough. Keep your fingers crossed!
