Despite the late start, our garden is really coming along! We had quite the weed issue to deal with when we came back from Paris, but after a day or two, it was back under control and it was obvious that things were doing well. We have tons of tomatoes ripening, and just picked our first perfect cucumber. We have been harvesting kale for salads and the baby leaves are so tender and delicious!\u00a0\"DSC_0140\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, the chard that we planted is taking off like gang-busters! We only planted 4 plants, but they are already huge, seemingly growing to dinosaur proportions overnight!\u00a0\"DSC_0144\"<\/a>The bean den idea hasn’t quite panned out, with the beans deciding not to climb at all, rather they stay close to the ground and let their produce ripen inches away from the dirt. Next year, I think I will plant cucumbers around the den instead, as the single cucumber plant we’re growing has already climbed our tall wooden fence and is now hanging over into our neighbor’s yard (who we will tell,\u00a0whatever bears fruit on your side is yours, should you want it!).\u00a0<\/em>I can’t wait to make cold cucumber salad and gazpacho!<\/p>\n

Also looking good: summer squash, strawberries, garlic, carrots & beets, broccoli, broccoli raab, and herbs so prolific they need to be cut back every other day! It makes cooking in the summertime such a joy. Are you growing anything this summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
