Recently we planted some green things in 25+ degree heat. The Yukon gave itself a smack and has returned to the normally scheduled 18 (sometimes) degree heat and the things that were green are now less robustly green. Some things are mottled. Some of the basil just didn't make it and the tomatoes are retreating to the indoors. However; the spinach is kicking butt, the turnips are cranking and the beets are missing in action. This may put a serious kink into the 100ft borscht this fall - GO BEETS!

Walter (the Guardian of the Potato Mausoleum +5 Death by Kitsch) has ensured that we have 7 of 42 potato plants appearing so far. I hope to get 40lbs.

Oh, and on a not green note the poppies are popping - lovely yellow. I will take pictures on a nice day when they are not being buffeted by 25km/hr winds and are more ready for a photo shoot.

Garden blogging is just my pace - updates once a week or less! Garlogging? Glogging?
