Wow!

We've had a couple chilly days lately, but last week we had temps in the 90's. Just wierd. Today and this weekend we should be in the 70's-80's, which is normal. The garden has just exploded with produce. I've been handing out lettuce and spinach and my favorite thing is to grab a snack when I'm out weeding. The lilac is almost done blooming so I will be cutting that back soon to allow more light for the garden.

Beets, cucumbers and dill.

Fennel (Swiss chard coming up just behind it), mesclun salad mix and spinach.

Onions (hopefully the beans will germinate this time around), snap peas and peppers.

Summer squash, tomatoes (10 plants!) and sunflowers.

I just planted zuchinni and pumpkin. It's a nice variety of plants and I'll probably plant a second crop of lettuce and spinach when the first crop is exausted.

Check out the cherries!!!

They are just starting, but it looks like we are going to have a nice crop. The raspberries are looking great as well. Yay produce! It's worth all the work.

Very nice! My beans blew down and died a slow death so I am replanting pole beans. I'd like some of that 90 degree weather to come back!
