There hasn’t been a single garden post this year. That is due in large part to the long stretch of rain and no sunshine we experienced in May and early June.
The few seeds we finally did plant only went in toward the end of the first week of June. Much too late for many things. Here is how things looked on June 17.
pretty puny for the middle of June, but I am hopeful that we will have a good harvest of squash, peas, lettuces and carrots. The weeds are sure flourishing though. Seems like they sprout back up day after every weeding.
I am so thankful for the return of the grapevine. It was very late to come back this year and I though we had lost it along with our peach tree.
The honeysuckle is increasing and starting to vine up just as I hoped.

The days are much warmer now at the end of June and although we are still getting quite a bit of rain, plants seems to be growing steadily. And it is looking to be a wonderful year for wild flowers! Please share links in the comments if you have posted garden updates. I’d enjoy seeing how other gardens grow this summer!
