We had a bit of a strange growing season (not over yet... but soon). It started early with an early thaw and spring, then we got bit by a hard frost around our normal time. This nipped a lot of the fruit trees - though my berries seemed to fare OK as they had not blossomed yet.
We then had some chilly rainy weather - and so my garden went in LATER than usual. Some bunny traffic got us off to a bumpy start, but we were going along well.
Then it got HOT.
And then it got DRY.
And then things settled out and the plants that survived all of that have been sharing their bounty. Here's a little photo tour. Some things just were not being photogenic - like the rhubarb, chives, basil, roma tomatoes, gourds and poblano peppers... but they've all been growing very well.
