2012 June Check-In




I love the garden in June. Everything is planted and thriving. And some things are done. The lettuces have been pulled up, revealing a bunny nest. We've had broccoli, cauliflower, onions, chard, kale, two cukes, tiny zucchini's. 

This season is so wacky. The peaches have all been consumed and it was a very good year. I’d say our second-year tree yielded about 100 peaches, most all of them good, although there were some worms and bad spots from insects. Plus, they were absolutely delicious, full of scent, juice, and flavor. The garlic, too, has been harvested--a good two weeks early--and the bed is already replanted with beet seeds, thanks to Marni.

More chard and carrots to plant along with more lettuces as the summer heat diminishes.
