Perfect rains just when we were getting a little worried that things were pretty dry…Lots of wet muddy clothes but cool working temperatures.

Coming up for dinner after a big broccoli transplant in the MUD! My boots weighed 10 pounds each!

A great week that zipped right along.  We pulled the broccoli plants and had the beds replanted by evening…same with the chinese cabbage crop.  Harvest/wash/pull plants/replant.

Evening replanting of the chinese cabbage beds.

A great start to the pea harvest.  It is going to be a bounty!

TONS! of peas on the vine….best season yet I think.

Flowers are on the cucumber vines, pepper plants too. Tomatoes are forming and itty bitty beans are there when we peek under the leaf canopy. Big pretty blooms on the spaghetti squash. I bet we will harvest the first zucchini next week.

Zucchini runway in the morning sun.  We are playing that beat the clock game again this year….hopefully the peas are done and we pull the trellis before the zucchini plants get too big!  Fingers crossed.

Evening Potato patch inspection…we are hoping for potatoes on the 4th of July!

It’s sure starting to feel like summer is here!
