Things are filling in nicely even after two series of multi-day heat waves. We've been harvesting kale, chard, boc-choy, spring onions, cauliflower, brocolli, and various lettuce greens. I still need to finsish up the straw mulching, but the critical things are covered and we've been lucky to have had sufficient rain over the last two weeks. The electric fence seems to be working too. No sign of rabbit damage since it went up about a month ago.
Soon the peppers will need caging.
And the raspberries are just starting to turn. I've been able to pick a few and it looks like a good crop for jam and wine. No sign yet of Japanese beetles!
I've also made sure to keep a closer eye this year on the yarrow and lavender so I can cut it for drying while it is in its prime.
