Water, carrots, and beans

We spent much of this past week out of town paddling so this post will be brief. And the headline is all of the rain we've had. The picture below is of what came down overnight one evening!

The rain, coupled with the lack of heat, has meant a lot of growth in greenery but not much in terms of fruit. So no tomatoes yet and I fear the squash will not have enough time to mature even though the vines are really doing well.

There are a lot of flowers, though, including this wild onion.

And I have dill plants as tall as I am, which the bees are loving.

I did get a decent first harvest off the green beans and I need to plant more of these next year.

I also pulled some early carrots and we had a lovely meal with some potatoes and the last of the peas.

The garlic is mostly done curing, I trimmed it up and set aside next year's seed for planting this fall. The rest has gone into storage in the basement.

This week will entail getting back on top of the weeds, maybe thinning the carrots one last time, and giving some thoughts to reworking the raised beds in the back come autumn.
