A handful of lettuces and other greens are starting to bolt, so I’m glad I seeded out another set last week in a different bed. Our replacement peppers are much happier than the old ones, which is nice.
Juniper and I were out picking strawberries and haskaps/honeyberries yesterday. Nothing made it inside, but she was having a blast and was very excited to help out. I was very excited that she was receiving immediate rewards for following directions (beyond praise).
It’s uncomfortable enough at the height of the day that I’m potting inside my little workshop in the garage, reserving the early and late hours for field work. Remember to help yourself out with lots of water and good electrolytes!
What’s growing on with you all?
This is a weird year in terms of rain and temperatures. Hot may, cold June and long wet or dry periods. Many of my plants are lagging behind because of it, but are now picking up some steam. We’re seeing the first tomatoes on the vines, the melons are getting established and the runner beans are climbing their poles.
In terms of harvests: we were able to harvest lettuce and now are picking delicious strawberries every day. Gooseberries and currants are also ripening.
