But climate change is a myth!

You are so lucky. But how's the tomatoes? I think they need more heat and sun, no?

Glad I didn't bother planting any peppers this year--but the peas and lettuce have been great, and my tarragon has lost it's little plant-mind and turned into shrubbery.
Also, the biggest, tastiest sour cherry crop yet. Harvested two weeks later than usual.

My strawberries this year are loving the extra rain they're getting, too. Second bed are just at their peak now and I have a deliciously acidic breakfast every day!

I really love your gardening updates Goldy. I can't keep a cactus alive, but with every post you encourage me to try and plant some veggies.

Enjoy your second crop of peas!

My peas are rocking along too. Tomatoes are up about eye-level, but the fruit that's formed is still small and green. Need some sun and heat to kick in! Otherwise they'll be stuck in 'Grow leaves' mode all summer...

you can shove those withering, brown vines up your ass and they'll compost nicely

All my lettuce has bolted, and my peas are done. I pulled out all the brown and wilty bits yesterday.

Tomatoes are still in the flowers stage, save about five itty-bitty fruits. But I have one pepper that's actually doing well; it's about 2 inches in diameter at this point. Better than any I grew last year, which is kind of sad.

Time to put the damn plastic cloches back on the damn tomatoes.

Tomatoes are screwed. Buy them at the store. But the parsley is out of this world.

Obama said 'eat your peas'. That's all you get.

I have been told that many kinds of vegies really like black plastic on the ground around them. It heats the ground and the plants, holds moisture and keeps weeds down as well. Tomatoes particularly love black plastic.

Please wait...
