Next week the lows will be in the 50's for about a week.  This is when my wife will plant her veggies.  I did the grunt work to build the cinder block 4' x 8' raised bed.  She has to do the rest, but I still have to put up some deer fencing.

We are still watching from when the local strawberry patches uncover their strawberries so we can follow their lead and uncover ours. I am putting up fencing around stuff this year because of the abundance of rabbits.

Some things are robust, others seem depleted to me.


This is the tomato I planted back in November to se if the grow lights would work.  It survived the Winter indoors and I am hoping will have fruit available by end of June.  It and the other tomatoes seem to be doing pretty well.

The Chili's & Green Peppers seem like they are struggling!

Everything else seems pretty hearty!  Snow Peas and Cucumbers, Tomatillos, Sage, Oregano and Dill.  The melon's and squash.

Peppers look like they need water

They have had plenty.  I am not sure why they are yellow, it is something year after year with our garden!

If you do your own string trimming, I highly recommend the Darwin Grip.  Just installed and used it today.  At $70 I thought it was quite expensive, but was tired of my back being put out of shape.  Have a lot of trimming to do here!  Usually I have to go to one hand and rest the head on the ground several times as I am doing my rounds.  Not with this, great control of the Husqvarna!

Looks like I'll have two tomatoes to harvest next week.  They're turning orange.  My area is terrible for harvesting tomatoes because of our cold evening.  It was 100 deg F today but I suspect we will be around  50 deg F tonight.  The fruit won't set.  I've going through the garden helping pollination with an electric tooth brush.  It actually helps.

I have 2 coming in, not sure which variety, but they will probably be 2 weeks away!

I don't know if we want to call it climate change or simply a very wet spring.  My garden is a month behind normal growth.  Washington State.   Not much fun happening yet.  The lawn however looks pretty good!

My first half dozen tomatoes should be ready this weekend for Caprese Salad for Fathers Day.  However,  two of my plants were attacked by some vermin this week.  I normally keeps my tomatoes fenced in to keep the woodland creatures out.  My fence was not totally up this year while I was convalescing from my knee replacement.  It's up now.

The photo shows that something ate the core of the stalk from ground level to a foot above the ground.  I'm thinking mice, rats, opossums, or rabbits.

I will try and get some photos up this weekend.  No real fruit or vegetables yet, but it is finally starting to look healthy!
