I now understand why the residents of coastal North Carolina warned me that despite torrential rains at some times, lack of rain was often an issue and with the sandy soil that promptly drains, plants dry out here very fast despite high humidity.
Thanks for the thread!
Harvested swiss chard and radishes recently, very yummy!
Lots of flowers blooming.
Buds starting on my first-ever large flowering dahlias. Enormous plants, so the flowers should be spectacular. Got the tubers from Swan Island Dahias in early spring and started them in pots in my greenhouse. I bought 11 varities.
www.dahlias.com is their website, if anyone wants to see gorgeous pictures and dream of what they could order for next summer.

First tomatoes 🍅 of the season yesterday...
First cucumbers today...
Now where are those peppers..!!
Good morning and thank you 😊
Our tomatoes are doing great—probably red by a week from now. I checked them last night but found two nasty tomato worms munching away this morning.
Visiting son from Seattle and I hit the local Farmers Market this morning. Returned home with hard neck garlic, loose leaf lettuce, a bag of green beans and one Mennonite tomato.
95 or hotter today. We’re ready for the cool-down.

Thank You!
