Brace yourselves, summer is coming!

Summer is here! Well, the weather almost is.  I'm excited enough to jump the gun, and I'm having to water every day. Every. Day. While my knee recovers from whatever I did to offend it, I'm taking the loooonnnng bus ride to the garden daily to water. Bah, it is beautiful, though! My cabbages have gotten huge in the last few weeks.


Lovely herb garden starting up


I'm experimenting with the broccoli for seed saving. 2 plants are isolated at home, and I bring flowers from the main garden to pollinate from a vase. The experiment will be tested over winter this year in the main garden.
The whole garden. The yellow patches you see are all
seeds that will cross with broccoli. Blerg.

The tomatoes are doing well enough so far, and the onions have finally decided to be more than slivers. I'll be curious to see what varieties made it through slugpacolypse.

My beautiful onions in need of weeding.
That's on tomorrow's to-do list.
