Very far behind here. Should have potted up tomatoes and peppers weeks ago; they are week and spindly things.

I hope to get beans, squash, and melons in the garden tomorrow.

If it weren’t for self-sowing greens - mustard, arugula, and lettuce - we wouldn’t be eating anything from the garden yet.

Fruit is behaving oddly - scarcely any cherries set, but the peaches are abundant and my daughter is thinning them. Not as many blueberries as usual, and the summer-bearing raspberries are even making flower buds.

Poison ivy lurks. The enriched soil reverts to hard clay. And the Louisiana iris thinks NJ is Louisiana, and is spreading rampantly.

Hubby got a poison ivy rash earlier this week. He has always bragged about how he never gets it. Well he did a little too much this time with his bare hands. Now he can’t say never again. LOL
