Weeding And Planting in the Garden

Usually the Danger of Frost has passed by this date.

The radishes, lettuce and onions were planted at the beginning of May. They are fine for cooler spring weather planting.
Pumpkins, cucumbers, peas, sunflowers and corn should be planted this week.
The tomato and cherry tomato seedlings are planted now. They are started indoors as early as February.

Blackie / Garden Notes

Manny Man is doing just fine in his kingdom, safe and sound in air conditioning on these hot summer days. I've been weeding in the evenings now to avoid the heat. I don't like weeding very much when the mosquitoes are bad. I also do not like using bug spray very much. Which leads me to saying it has been perfect for weeding now.

Last night I had my first snack of cherry tomatoes and peas. Very yummy.
I also picked another cup of wild raspberries for the record.

The peas are starting now. They are another personal favorite of mine.

Lettuce and Peas in the Garden

Pea Pod in the Garden

About three weeks ago a deer decided to prun the pea plants. You can see in this picture where there is just a stump.
