It’s been hot and sunny, and I had a nice looooooong day rearranging the studio today, then stopped by to water B’s lovely plants. Where our land is wild and jungly- hers has a polished garden feel. It was a nice change… and I may have eaten some peas, before I knew what I was doing. It was part muscle memory, part desperation.
Some of our jungle. It needs trimming and weeding, but boy are the bees happy.
We do have a couple of pea stragglers. I am most grateful for their sacrifice.
The purple peas do not taste purple.
Other things are starting to happen too!
Strawberries are happening for real. This was today’s haul.
First blueberry!
Summer squashes
The ugly duckling nova tomato has the first non-cherry fruit. I’m glad I made room for it.
There’s also the start of a healthy pepper.
Sungolds coming soon!
Okra buds. I hope I have enough plants for pollination. They make really lovely flowers too.
Green bean monster!!
Artichoke taller than me!! More than a dozen heads. (I did get up early to spray it with water and been oil, but I’m not confident we’ll ever get viable good out of it. I’m curious about cardoon since you eat the stem on that. I wonder if it tastes similarly.)
The huckleberries are larger this year, but the tree looks like it’s ailing.
The solal underneath it INSANE.
Its cooling down. The birds are singing.
