Everything is thriving. I planted too much lettuce but have found many takers…the Rouge D’Hiver is beautiful but disappointingly bland. Peas are about to be ready! My man’s fave. In the last few weeks, I planted squash, tomato, pepper and basil plants and sunflower, zinnia, purple basil, carrot and more beet seed (I found seed that germinates up to 85 degrees!). I pulled all the arugula and radish and we are still eating them.

I still have a sunny patch above the Rouge D’Hiver that I will use…dunno for what. And the dreaded west fence line that doesn’t grow a thing. I was thinking of getting crazy with impatiens but have since fallen out of love with that idea.
