This week in the garden…more rain.
We're going to have SO MANY peas.
People are starting to get cranky. It’s nearly summer, and we’ve had just a few short hours of sun over the last couple of weeks. Even people who are proud Seattle natives, don’t own an umbrella, wear shorts in December – even those people are starting to complain about this never-ending greyness.
The plants sure do love it, though. Things are out of control in the yard and garden. Last week I planted corn and it’s up already! The spinach has pretty much gone to seed, radishes are starting to sprout, and the peas are putting a monumental effort into flowering. The tomatoes are not quite as happy, though; the ones in containers are doing pretty well, but those in the garden soil just hunker there sadly, shivering and woeful.
In a way, I feel like the garden is in a holding pattern…or at least, my enjoyment of it seems to be. I hope we get a little bit of summer before fall gets here!
Carrots are doing really well (none harvested yet, though).
The container lettuce is looking great!
I don't think this radish flower is a good thing.
