July 1st?

Crikey! The summer's going fast!

Numero Uno:

The passion fruit vines are fruiting!! We have actual passion fruit.

Well, broccoli is being harvested, all the kohlrabi has been pulled & pounds and pounds of snow peas are daring us to find them all. We had a wonderful experience with an intern last week and hopefully she'll be back for another 3 weeks shortly. She equated picking snow peas with "Where's Waldo?" HAHA. We're battling potatoe beetles and striped cucumber beetles and aphids. Never seen so many aphids in an outside garden!! Okra is getting taller and producing pods and so are the artichokes.

NOTE FOR NEXT YEAR: Plant more salad, kohlrabi, spinach & chard.
