Ha! I DO live in the Puget Sound area (about 60 miles from Seattle), and my garden is going gangbusters! The squash is taking over the broccoli, got tons of lettuce, little cukes starting to pop, a radish plant that’s 3 feet tall (decided to let it grow and see how big it gets...kinda funny, actually). This is my first garden ever, and I can’t believe how well it’s going, and I also can’t believe the fabulous weather we’ve been having. I’ve been in our pool everyday this week in the afternoon, sitting in my noodle chair, sipping a beer, looking at my garden! Will probably have to pick more zukes and sweet peas this afternoon. Got LOTS of green tomatos, but nothing ripe yet. Also lots of blooms on my honeydew and watermelon plants, but nothing forming yet. They were bought on a whim just to see if anything would happen. With the way the economy is going, this could really help! We haven’t had any substantial work in our shop for a month!
