The temps have been cool, and the humidity has been higher with unseasonably muggy weather. Yesterday, we did finally hit 80F, but we had a quick night-time cool down and today we are back in the 60s for the day. That's fine for the potatoes which are in "cure" state as the leaves are all dying. July 31 will be our dig out date.
The Square Garden is filling in nicely. The blossoms on the bush beans are turning white and preparing to open. The Dill is filling in nicely, and the basil smells so wonderful. The radishes that I replanted are sprouting, and the carrots that I replanted are filling in the rows. The thyme is growing, so we will see how that turns out. I've never grown thyme before.

The various stages of the cucumbers. One has started to bloom which you can see through the leaves in the blue bucket on the right. All together, there are six plants. Also, the oregano is ready to harvest for the second time. If I don't cut it this week, it will bolt, so now or forget about it.

The poor damaged bell peppers are finally showing signs of survival. The lettuce is also thriving. This has actually been perfect weather for lettuce. I don't even have to keep it in the shade.

The first of the Sun golds are about ready to pick. Sorry for the blurry - the wind kept moving them. Plus, we have a lot of green fruit on the Sun gold. The Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes are just starting to form.
