How Does My Garden Grow?

June is the best month for my garden. Until July. But right now, it’s June. I planted these lettuces and chard back on St. Patrick’s Day, when we were having that crazy March heat wave.

They are so yummy. You can also sort of see the baby kale coming up between them. Go kale, go!

Here is a lovely thing: volunteer hollyhocks, being all gorgeous.

I love them.

I had these little twerpuses helping me out last week. We planted more pole bean seeds. They are poking up their little green heads today, less than a week later.

Here is one who likes to eat strawberries out of my garden, pull the heads off the blooming lavender, and march round and round the garden paths. But he is mostly interested in doing this:

And then he has to show me all of his boo boos. His legs are pretty awesome right now.

I have little green tomatoes, teeny tiny purple eggplants, baby jalopenos, and onions that are starting to fall over. It’s a good year for the garden!
