Right now the garden is perfect. It is beautiful, the temperatures are mild, the humidity is down, there are very few weeds, and the slugs and Japanese beetles haven't figured out that the season has begun again. The storm I refer to includes the challenges that face us every year and ones that we try to solve and often frustrate and madden us. Heat, mosquitoes, rabbits, drought or heavy rains, and pests will inevitably show their face at some point this year, but we will do our best and use our years of experience to solve problems before they actually become problems. For now, we are relishing in finally eating fresh produce and seeing new growth every day!
The Bounty.
It's garlic scape time again!
Beautiful, tidy rows of cabbage, beets, garlic and lettuce.
Some of the first blooms!
We are growing more cucumbers this year and built this trellis so they can grow vertically instead of horizontally which saves us lots of space.
Swiss chard before the slugs have found it.
