June in the garden

"It is the month of June
the month of leaves and roses
when pleasant sights salute the eyes
and pleasant scents the noses."
~N P Willis

Despite cold weather and soaking thunderstorms in May, the June garden is still going strong.  Starting to harvest things, and continuing to plant more...

Now harvesting:
Beets
Daylilies
Garlic scapes
Kale
Mint
Oregano
Parsley
Peas
Potatoes
Rosemary
Sage
Strawberries
Tarragon
Turnips

Planted:
Basil
Eggplant
Parsley
Tomato

The first potatoes are ready!  Very easy to harvest if you grow them in bags.

Also ready now:  other spring root veg (turnips, beets, kohlrabi) and the first of the greens...



And a trip to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania for inspiration:  living walls, Florida weave tomatoes, and solar flowers!
