Poppies & Sunflowers & Borage [oh my!]

Flowers are all in bloom!!
This was a great year for Raspberries.
Everything in the greenhouse is doing fantastically [come on Tomatoes!!]
Squashes are doing well, Cucumbers are coming on, Corn is taller daily.
Young Brussels are doing great.

Steven and I [Aliza] pulled out the Peas today and are replacing it with Flax.
There a nice big bag of the last Peas sitting in the fridge along with some Raspberries.
Beets are being enjoyed as they continue to grow.
Carrots are ready for another thinning.

Broccoli is not enjoying the heat. It only forms very small heads.
Aliza's brassica starts mostly died from too much sunshine [oops].
We think a rabbit is nibbling the lettuce.
We'll be planting another succession of lettuce pretty soon.
Racoons are getting some plums, but there is plenty to share.

Berries, Lettuce, Peas

The weather was hot and sunny for June and is rather overcast for July. It sprinkled yesterday evening. Flowers are blooming everywhere. The birds ate all the strawberries before the bird netting went up, but now that it is up, there are plenty of raspberries, currants, gooseberries of every color dripping from their bushes/canes. The squashes are happening. The first couple plantings of lettuce are bolting. The peas are finishing, and most of the early broccoli are done. Next on the list is tying up the tomato plants.
