Garlic harvest and veggies
Pulled the garlic and onions, and got some squash the first 2 runner beans and one delicious
Sungold tomato
The music and nootka rose (from the grange) garlic was the winner this year. The susanville was a total dud.
I also moved two volunteer tomatillos onto west c with the plum tomato.

Hot as hell
We’re in the midst of a record heat wave- it was 100 yesterday, 104 today, and 111 (!!) tomorrow. The tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers are VERY PLEASED. I just wish they had fruit to ripen!
Potato flower!
And we’re still in the strawberries.
Put some tomatoes out
Planted 2 tomatillos and a nova and sungold that were getting too big for the greenhouse.
Removed the season starters from the squash (that said “transplant after threat of frost has passed”)
Replanted some green beans cause birds are bastards.
Repotting and planting squash
Repotted many of the sprouts, and moved some out into the greenhouse. It’s been WARM so p hooked up the irrigation today- including the new beds. New bed west f got squashed. I transplanted my sprouts and put some seeds in. 
Some progress
And a new visitor (bald eagle)
This week
Thursday I replanted the tomato and tomatillo sprouts, and started okra and squash.
The greens are getting started. (That was Thursday as well.)
P worked up South D and I finally planted carrots and beets down there.
He’s clearing out space for two new beds now, near the fence. Extra beds! Yay!
Still just two arugula sprouts- but one is THICK.
Looks like someone was playing in my onion beds. Lots pulled up, some replanted upside down, markers tossed about.
I also planted cilantro (outside and inside) and basil (inside), more peas and kale in the pea bed.
Today
Lots of tomatillos, and the swuash are back
Transplanted some kale and chard
Oh Deer
So, I knew we were taking a risk clearing out some of the blackberry without putting up a fence between the garden and the field- and after the field got mowed right up to our property a furry friend starting grazing- specifically on the yellow beans, green beans, and raspberry– although now he’s moved on to the beets and carrot tops. Les sigh.
He has lots of options though, so P put in poles to make the beans grow higher.
Todays haul wasn’t half bad.
Canning and salsa
We had a good haul of green beans, so today we canned them. (This picture was a little too much for the full load. I’ll cook the rest tonight).
And now we’re roasting tomatillos, onions, and jalapenos for salsa (fresh and frozen). Apparently I’ve been letting the tomatillos get overripe (yellow) so we did a mix.
