Things are growing nicely. We had a family function to go to last week and luckily we were able to get someone in to do some watering for us. That together with the straw mulch and evening thundershowers kept things in good shape until our return. The bugs are staying in check too although I'll be watching the beans very closely for stink bug damage as they begin to flower. I have no intention of loosing any of the crop this year to these devils.
Although we are waiting in anticipation for full production, so far we have harvested a handful of our first grape tomatoes, some squash and zucchini, and lettuce. Anticipation is high for our first full sized tomatoes. The basil is about ready to go in to for the first batches of pesto.
The herb bed in in full glory although I can never seem to be able to time the blooming of the dill with the cucumbers. This section of the bed reseeds itself every year.
