Not much summer yet

Tomatoes and peas in the north bed.  The gutter on the garage isn't attached correctly which means that during this very rainy June a lot of water pours down on this bed.  Since we're just renting the place, I've gone for the cheap fix to protect the plants from getting splashed with mud.  It seems to be mostly working, the lettuce (at the base of the peas) is growing finally.

The peas haven't climbed up the strings very well.  I'm not sure if it's a light issue making them bend away from the wall or if it's because there's a bit of a wind tunnel back there.  They're producing peas now.  The boy and I ate one today that was good but the peas were tiny, next week they should be good.

The lettuce in the raised bed is still threatening to shade the tomatoes in that bed.  I've been eating a big salad several times a week which is barely keeping ahead of it.

Reviving this as our garden blog

Catching up after a year long break. I started 17 varieties of tomatoes, mostly from saved seeds from tomatoes from a farm in the interior. But I dropped the tray one morning in early May when I was taking seedlings out for their day in the sun and all the labels fell out. So it's somewhat a mystery what tomatoes I planted.

Seedlings right after transplanting to the paper cups-which worked really well as a final transplant container, will do that again.
