My Garden in July

 So far this year we have enjoyed eating tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, lots of green beans, Swiss chard, & sugar snap peas.  I've also harvested kale seeds and cilantro seeds from plants that have gone to seed.  I had such good luck doing this with my Swiss chard last year that I want to gather my own seeds from other vegetable plants.  It's easy from fruits, but letting the leafy greens go to seed is annoyingly clutter-some to the eye.  It drives me crazy, but at the same time I kind of enjoy it too.
 Starting more sugar snap peas.

 We are trying sweet potato plants this year.
 Swiss Chard and Onions
 Cantalope


 My tomatillos....another thing I'm trying this year.  We'll see how they turn out.

We've had soooo much rain this year.  It's great, but in some ways, it may be to much.  Things don't seem to be growing so well.  We're not alone other gardeners are saying the same thing.  To much rain and not enough sun.  I'll gladly take that over what is happening in the West.  They are having record high temperatures.
