The last month has been quite busy, but nothing stops the garden from growing. The hydrangea is in full bloom -
As are the nasturtiums -
And violas -
An infestation of flea beetles nearly did for the green beans and a gopher (or similar creature) has eaten half the potato crop, but the broc, cabbage, kale and chard are flourishing. We ate the first cuke from the greenhouse and the squash are putting out tiny fruits.
While much of the country is suffering with high temps and drought conditions, we here on the Central Oregon Coast have been "enjoying" temps in the 60's (if we're lucky) misty, gray skies and plenty of wind. Not great weather for growing tomatoes, but what can you do? Everything in the garden got off to a slow start but seems (as always) to be making up for a chilly Spring with a burst of growth that gives us hope for a decent harvest.
Unfortunately, conditions are also perfect for weeds and slugs, but you have to take the good with the bad or go crazy...
