Summer weather...finally!

So check out my new blog please, Tamara Quilts. After learning to sew with the girls in 4-H, quilting has quickly become my new favorite hobby!

But back to the business of of our home and gardens. This spring has been dreadful. The coldest wettest June on record! I have just now got my garden planted in full. Except I still need to pot up my tomatoes. My lettuce is ready to be harvested. My peas are close. We did steal a few sprigs of asparagus this year and they were YUMMY!!! Next spring I will have to replant one half of the row that must have rotted underground since nothing has sprouted from those plants. My strawberries are coming in wonderfully. These are the giant Whoppers that I planted last year. The slugs were getting to them bigtime, of course eating all the ripe ones first, so I did bait for the slugs the other day, even though I hate that stuff.

I skipped planting potatoes this year because last year we only dug up about half of what I planted. The leftovers still underground are doing nicely, hopefully whatever we dig up is edible and tasty! Otherwise I've planted the usual, cucumbers, zuccini (only 2 plants this year!!!), butternut squash, delicatta squash, spaghetti squash, watermelon, canteloupe, beans, radishes, corn, onions, garlic, kale and peppers. Last year I didn't clean up one of my back garden beds full of parsnip, turnip and carrots, and they have reseeded themselves EVERYWHERE! So I didn't plant those again this year, just let nature take it's course. Need to still put in some spinach and beets, and time to put in more lettuce too.

Please post links to your garden pictures! I would love to see them! I will try and post photo's of mine soon.
