In high school biology I learned that a weed was just a plant growing where people didn't want it to grow. That's a pretty good description of my garden! Join me to find out whether the weeds and rabbits will win this year! (Do you have to ask?)

Garlic, anybody?
Early July, and time to pull up the garlic. That's over 30 heads there, and there are some others because the garlic seems to have spread, and no matter how much I pull it up each year, a few bulbs survive in the pachysandra. The trick now is to dry it---leaving it outside but putting in a place where it won't get wet in a thunderstorm.
And here's some beautiful swiss chard.
This has already provided for some veggies at a number of meals. It is gradually bolting, but there are still five or so plants, and they are growing nicely. Must look up some recipes.
One small cucumber now forming, and a few mild poblano chili peppers round out the vegetable side of things. On the fruit side, I've got enough raspberries that I'm thinking of making jam. Also some champagne currants, but not a lot of them.
