Sorry to all those you follow this blog. I have been very busy with high priorities in my life. I have not neglected the garden however, just the blog. Here are some updates on my garden along with pictures. Feel free to ask questions or comment on if you feel that you are not getting a desired yield.

We have had a pretty good season so far. We had a lot of moisture and a relatively cool June. This had a good effect on our Spring crops. You may notice some rows that I am working on. Those were my Spring crops such as romaine lettuce, peas, broccoli, cauliflower and spinach. All did well except the cauliflower. As predicted it went to seed too fast. I will be planting the real crop of cauliflower and broccoli for the Fall and should get a great yield.

I will be planting my Fall garden this week for crops that I want to mature well before the first frost but during cool weather. Fall crops are usually better than Spring crops for this reason.

Here are my tomatoes that I will be letting grow across the black plastic with no supports. These I grew indoors directly from seed, very satisfying.

Here are my melons, cantaloupe and watermelon. They are doing great.

Artichokes, they are just starting to grow buds

Onions, this is probably the best crop I have had yet. I attribute it to the great weather. I also grew these direct from seed indoors.

We were gone for two weeks so our swiss chard in the background is really big. We just had some last night and it is still good at that size.

Hopefully, your gardens are all doing well too.
