June.... lettuce and chard!








We had some delicious lettuce and great swiss chard during the month of June. Green onions were delicious too. It's interesting to see how veggies planted in the middle of the lasagna are doing better than those on the edge. I think it's because the layering is shorter at the edge. The use of some sort of edge or border would have helped to keep a more uniform depth (note for next year!).

All 10 tomato plants have flowers and green tomatoes. Just waiting for that first red one to arrive!

The green beans have finally taken off, so has the edemame. We should have our first edemame next week. BUT... you should see our corn! I started a few kernels indoors and the rest outside. The ones that I started indoors are silked, full and ready to harvest! Yay corn! We ended up having to stake the corn to keep it upright.

Oh, and one of our rhubarb corms didn't take but the one that did has produced a huge crop of beautiful stalks and leaves. I can't wait to taste it next year. (we are letting it wait and fully establish) Same with the blueberries. We let the bushes set just a few berries, pinching most of them back. But the few we picked have been great. Definitely Peanie's favorite!

Of the pics here.... the first few are from the beginning of June... the rest are from today. What a difference a month makes!
