Mid-July and the garden is full and maybe even some tomatoes in our future. Pulled 1/3 of the garlic and it is curing will continue to pull it up as the lower leaves wither, well not pull, dig it up. It would seem easy to pull but not in my soil.
Finally we have peas! The zucchini is blossoming, one hubbard squash flower but nothing to polinate it unfortunately. Loads of flowers which I let alone where ever they come up, doesn't seem to hurt anything so far. Beans are waist high without flowers yet but I think they will do well. I am going to pull the lettuces and start over today so that we can have salad again in September. Will try seeding some fall Broccoli...Hmmm wonder how that will do. Most everything has done better than I expected given the weather. There have been aphids on a few things but some soapy water with chili's from Hawaii seem to have stopped them for now. Off to pull up those lettuces!
