We've been recovering from some drought years and one of the side effects was that I spent 5 days picking cherries when one has been enough for the last few years. Plus it was wet for five weeks so getting into the garden wasn't always possible. But enough whining, or I'll start complaining about tomatoes and peppers which no one wants to hear...
Okay, it's been weird gardening here this year. It's been very wet and slow getting hot. June averaged around 80 for a high. In spite of that I have 50+ plants in the watermelon patch out of 70 varieties planted. They've started growing fast and blooming now that it's in the 90s. Although the ones at the south end might be intimidated by the pumpkin, which are everywhere and didn't mind the cooler temps.
It's raining again this morning, but I'm hoping to get some weeding done this afternoon and take photos this evening.
