the lettus
and other greens are coming in spectarularly, we have to eat big salads everyday just
to keep up with it. we are also eating alot of steamed kale and collards as well
the tomatoes are flowering but no green tomatos yet. small jalapeno peppers are starting to form on the pepper plants and cilantro is sprouting, hopefuly later in the summer we will be making salsa!
the cabbage and broccoli have grown enormous though they seem to be attracting slugs and other pests. we have eaten the first of the beats and beat greens steamed and there are plenty more of them to come. the carrots are still tiny but I have hope for them yet. the bean plants are quite prolific this year, they are flowering right now and it looks like soon we will have loads of green beans. it has been a good summer for gardens so far in nepa with lots of rain but not too much.
