Garden update - "community garden"

Garden update:
Nasturtiums from Renee hate me. Replanted in shade, and now they are thinking about liking me. Maybe.
Bamboo from Pat is waiting to be trimmed back, although I have moved several plants. Can't harvest yet, but will in the future have all natural flirt poles and cat toys.
Cherries have maybe 4 on each bush. That's totally fine. I didn't trim them, and should have.
Rhubarb is amazingly beautiful and a great frog, toad and lizard habitat. And huge.
Roses from Dana are waiting to get planted near the mailbox but are flowering nicely in the meantime.
Pansies are not pansy at all, survived a sheep trimming and are in full force. I do pluck dead flowers all the time, maybe that encourages them.
Blackberries are doing well, looks like a lot of fruit this time.
Grapes going good, the ones over the duck arena should be amazing
Cherokee purple and cherry tomatoes just got planted yesterday by Tiny
Bush cukes got planted yesterday by Tiny
More lettuce from Renee as well as spinach was planted by Tiny (Marq thanks you sooo much)
Early lettuce...we are struggling to keep up with. Salads have been had for breakfast, several times.
Eggplants. Sad, sad eggplants. Something small eats them and they are pathetic skeletal runty things.
Mint...crazed, like everyone elses
Rosemary, oregano, and other stuff doing well, and there seems to be cilantro in with the pansies, no idea how.
Lavender from Renee needs to be planted. I gave one to Marian to replace the one that got mowed at her house. Smells spicy and fragrant and incredible.
Beans from Renee will get planted soon. I swear.
Ginger, Tumeric, and Galangal need to be planted soon and are shooting ready to go.
Figs - one from last year trying to struggle along, new one this year happy and just planted
Mulberry tree from Dana going good, two more to plant
Willows doing well, although goat trimmed.
Front stamp size graze overgrown and happy. Sheep arena pretty well grassed and clovered. Duck arena pretty well grassed and clovered.
