All the garlic has been dug, and I was satisfied with it. Enough to use, plus plenty to replant later on.

Actually have tomatoes coming on the vines for once. Potatoes got their hilling...better late than never, and are now blooming. Butterballs are large & flowering; Russets not so much, but growing. Most weedless garden yet.

Over 3” of rain the last couple of weeks, now clear & hot—106 yesterday—but cool down into low/mid 80s this coming week.

Walla-Walla onions were a bust this year, and the leeks may also be.

Carrots have given us a few meals of thinnings; and besides several meals of peas, we put about 15 packages into the freezer.

Believe it or not, I have to go out & water now; despite all the rain, several days of 90s & hundreds have dried it, at least for the shallow rooted stuff.

I believe it. My square foot beds were built with a so called soiless mix. It does dry out fast. I think that's why I had so much success my first year - nearly impossible to over-water them. LOL
