Beginning of July Garden Update

Arapaho Fish Hill beans

The peas are about at the end of the road.

Blooming Prairie beans on the top tier, Dragon Tongue beans on the middle tier.

Purple Podded Pole beans

Jerusalem artichokes

French lavender

Flood Pole beans

Tall Trailing nasturtium

Golden Nugget cherry tomatoes

Jimmy Nardello sweet pepper

Black Beauty eggplant

I always heard the saying "knee high by the 4th of July". I wonder if waist high is even better?

Golden Delicious apple tree...and a mess that desperately needs to be cleaned up.

Fuji apple tree

Top row is Snow Princess calendula, middle row is Bright Lights cosmos and on the bottom are Love in a Mist.

The grapes should be back with a vengeance by next summer.

Purple Emporer nasturtium

Oregon Spring tomato

The closest is a Blue Beauty and the one further away is a Paul Robeson.

A pathetic yellow summer squash.

Holy spaghetti squash!

These potatoes leaves are dying back so we'll harvest these in the next few days.

Yard Long beans in both red and green.

We're letting that bag of potatoes dry out until tomorrow and we'll see what we got in there.

Peppermint stick zinnia in the front and gorgeous looking collard greens in the back.

Maxibel and Tanya's Pink Pod bush beans. These are going to be absolutely loaded!

The backside of the spaghetti squash bed. That lettuce has seen better days, for sure!

The onions are getting big.

More baby spaghetti squash on the backside of the bed.

Pink Plume celery and Longue Rouge Sang carrots

Sword lettuce and cilantro that is going to seed. I planted garlic where the bok choy was.

Mixed Bachelor Button flowers. I read somewhere that these are edible. I don't eat them. I just like them.

Golden beets

Chioggia beets

This is either white or pink Japanese dandelions. I'll have to wait until they bloom to find out which pot is which.

Jibai Shimoshirazu cucumber plant

The walkway to the back garden.

The side garden...this is where I put a lot of the things that I want to climb the fence.

Blooming Prairie "bush" beans. I love the coloring on these.

Egyptian Walking Onions

Garden sage. This got a bit of a sunburn.

Cucamelon plant. I'm not sure if I'll get anything off of these or not.

Strawberry spinach. I grew this last year and we enjoyed it.

In the bed: Lacinato kale, Drunk Woman Frizzy Head lettuce, Parisienne carrots and fenugreek. In the pots below are basil (Thai, if I remember correctly) and lemongrass.

The rhubarb was traumatized when the bottom fell out of the bed. It's starting to come back.

Chioggia beets. In one pot, I planted echinacea and in the other I planted dill. I'm seeing how both companion plant with the beets.

I'm very proud of this spaghetti squash!

Nasturtiums!

Giant Italian parsley

Casper eggplant. This little guy has been through a lot and I'm quite surprised that it's still growing.

Sunburn tomatoes.

Gold Nugget cherry tomatoes

The Spring Blush peas that I'm saving for seed. I can't find anywhere to buy them, so I grew them out to save seed.
