Our gardens are doing awesome! But our peppers are lacking a bit. Don't know why but today I decided to install a 12 foot tall electroculture antenna to see what happens. I have read a bunch about it, seen some videos, then winged it with whatever I had off the top of my head. We shall see what happens. Its in the middle of our hot pepper garden.

Thanks KB! At the end of last summer and early fall all of our gardens drowned so I totally get where your coming from KB. It sucked a lot. We built up our gardens quite a bit this year with coop compost and I dug channels to drain water through our yard so hopefully that won't happen again.

SO I didn't ralise my fancy small potatoes would overwinter if you missed them. I just went and pulled a good haul of small new pots! Maybe it was just a warmer winter than usual? Here we didn't think it froze so deep.

I am waiting for a break in rain to lift the garlic but not having much luck.

The raspberries are size of strawberries I didn't think anything could do that well around here.
I might have hard time containing them.

Me three on the garlic! I didn't know it was going to rain today! Oh well, maybe tomorrow......

Meanwhile, my tomatoes are ripening! My next-door neighbour gave me a jar of honey from his hive the other day. How local can you get? His bees enjoy visiting our flowers :). So I gave him a big jar of my ripest cherry tomatoes for his kids. We have enough to eat from the container tomatoes on the deck, so I'll have to wait a little longer to taste the new-to-me ones that are growing in the garden.

Eggplant, sweet peppers and cukes are coming in, and the chickens are enjoying the odd cucumber :)
