State of the garden report


Bad.  I mean, it looks great, but I don't seem to have any beets yet and the cherry tomatoes are totally failing to set fruit.  Do I need more bugs?  I need more bugs.

The beet issue might be a non-issue--I put them into deeply dug, loose soil.  And it's possible that there really are some beets down there...somewhere.  I refuse to sacrifice one--pull it up--to be sure, but I can tickle away a trench beside one. Saturday.

The snap peas are done for the year.  I didn't get very many, but they tasted so very good that I'd plant them again in a snap.  Maybe next year I'll sneak them into the ground in January.

Enough bellyaching.  Here's what I do have:

a gallery of lettuce


and a sweet little smidgen of kale
