Corn is knee-high, dahlias are blooming...

The corn is doing nicely so you can expect corn-on-the-cob to pick as the season progresses.

 Long range view of veggie garden.  Beans, peas, beets, spinach, swiss chard, zucchini and all kinds of summer squash, along with onions, cucumbers, and a ton of herbs!

 Strictly tomatoes (all kinds) in this hoop house.

Peppers (all kinds), cantelope (mini), and eggplant in this hoop house.
And the dahlias:

This is a minature called "Thumbalina,"  and is a real cutie.  I don't know how many tubers it will put on since it's so small... less than a foot tall!!

 This photo is shot from one angle, while the one below if from another angle.

All-in-all, I'm very pleased with how the dahlias are growing this year--even with the cooler weather.  We've been told some "nice" warm weather is just around the corner.  The dahlias and veggies will both love it!!

Have a Great 4th of July!!

Middle of June... seems like early April... cold, windy, rainy

Today we planted more than 150 potted dahlias, some already forming buds for blooms!  They look really terrific along-side all the new one popping up all over the place.  Now, it's time to keep the weeds under control... and that's a big job!

We planted 10 rows of corn for corn-on-the-cob.  Art planted it while I planted zucchini (s) and all kinds of summer squash, beets, spinach, all kinds of herbs, sugar snap peas, beans, fava beans, carrots, etc.  So much fun to watch the seeds sprout and grow.  Art also planted 7 long rows of potatoes--blue, red and kennebec.  Won't be long and the U-Pick will be open for veggies!!
