We eased into a pleasant summer that granted us regular rainfall - we didn't even have to lay out soaker hoses this year. The plentiful rain watered the weeds and the veggies alike, so we've been busy tackling those and mulching well to limit future weed growth and conserve moisture. The plants not demolished by small furry garden monsters are growing well, and we’ve been able to donate bags of herbs (basil, mint, and chives), mustard greens, and swiss chard to the food pantry. Before long, it’ll be time for tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants!
