We have just gotten some badly needed rain.

The garden is kind of in limbo right now. Not much to harvest at the moment.

The asparagus all came in finally, but not a great crop and I discovered asparagus beetles attacking them. Those are now history.

The Colorado potato beetles are starting to show up and I’ve been catching, those too, so no great major infestation. Some of the potato plants are about to flower and some are just getting going.

The garlic is going gangbusters and the onions are coming along nicely.

I put in some beans and my butternut squash.

I also had my Assassin bugs hatch and dispersed them and two of the three praying mantis egg cases hatch and those are out there ready to do their thing.

Our asparagus isn’t really abundant this year either. We should bet praying mantis too. Love those things. They make for good photographs too. Especially if they catch a bug.
