June 26th Week 1

It looks like a farm again here. I have breathed a deep sigh of relief. Even after 10 years of gardening, May and June are hard months for me. The energy input required to get the garden from barren flat brown to dynamically green is overwhelming and exhausting. Kyle says I underestimate the tiny plants, and their incredible will power to live, he is probably right. There is a point in time around now when all the plants have reached a visual size and shape where I know they will make it, and I can sit back and just gently tend them. A little weeding here or there, trellising for support, or pruning to encourage a healthy habitat. Now we sit back a bit and watch the garden explode.

More choice in the coming weeks, as we are just really starting to get food in. Peas are just around the corner.
