there is an excessive heat warning in effect for today so i got to the garden early to look in on things...the watering schedule seems to be holding up well ( i will be back tomorrow for my turn ) and so after i hoed down the jerusalem artichokes in the corner bed ( control takes diligence ) i moved along to see what was going on...
the asparagus is looking well...despite the heat warning the past few days have been rainy and relatively cool...so the one of the plants has put up another spear...that behavior may trail off as the heat builds...
around the back side of the bed three of the four potato plants are blooming or verging on it...
the potatoes' fellow nightshade in the bed has bloomed as well and is working of fruit...there will be red showing soon enough...
down the roe the maize is looking robust and i found a smaller outbreak of jerusalem artichokes...
the beans are fine as well although there is still no sign of any vines...we will wait...
the maize plant that was tillering last time hour has added another...
and a few plants over this one has produced two..the prospect of multiple ears from multiple plants seems to be improving...still early in the season however...again we will wait...
another nightshade in my bed has filled the cage, bloomed, and produced fruit...and with hot weather on the way things should be moving along even faster...
not to be left behind a plant in my bed is working on some green bell peppers...these tow are recognizable and there are two more nascent ones as well as a few more buds preparing to bloom...
speaking of peppers, the one i saw in the library bed last time out seems to have vanished...no worries though...there are more on the way...
and, judging by the blooms in the school of nursing beds, it looks to be a fair season for cucumbers as well...july up next..first full scale ripenings and harvests...should be interesting.
