sweetpea and peas

sweetpea flattening a new tray of lettuce and greens. some she eats, some she just tramples.

sugar snap peas from my garden a few weeks ago.

with all the rain we've gotten, i havent had to water my garden once in may or june. that has never happened before! but the rain turned many things yellow for a while. beans and melons especially. luckily we've started having some sunshine during the days to help dry things out in between all the rain.

my garden, 15'x25' for the fenced in section, 12'x4' for the raised bed


the raised bed my dad helped me build last fall




rutabaga is enormous!


a single head of escarole lettuce. those blocks are 16" long! (and puppy!)


monster sweet onions, over 22" tall!


amish paste tomatoes


cabbage, brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi


pineapple tomatillos, pole green beans, and a lot of weeding needing to be done


in back from left, green beans, ground cherries, black eyed peas, tomatoes, in front, celeriac, zucchini, watermelon, cantelope (hidden under the lettuce), and marigolds


garlic


yukon gold potatoes on the right, onions and tomatoes on the left. clover garden paths, raised bed and strawberry patch in the background


pineapple mint plant that smells nifty


potted potato experiment, from the red potatoes i grew last year that sprouted in the cabinet over winter. (wilted from the heat)


strawberry patch (and molly!)


the old raspberry patch, now almost fully in the shade. the red line indicates the area i dug out and transplanted to a sunny location this spring.

broccoli


baaaaaby brussels sprouts forming


attack of the tomato plants!


raspberries


raspberry bushes, they arent putting out much fruit. i dont think they get enough sun. i'm considering moving them next spring, but then i'd have two places to battle the spikey plants.


they're taking over!


columbine and stevia


potted petunias (theres more out front)


decline of the peas


they're dead (they dont like the heat)


peas are gone. nasturtiums and clover will take over


soybeans for edamame


black eyed peas (i'd forgotten which i'd planted where, but now that they've gotten bigger the soybeans are fuzzy and the black eyed peas are not)
