The cold frame is getting trimmed out by Barb this week. As we work to finish up this darling building it is growing basil, tomatoes and peppers, along with lemon verbena, lemon grass, and a lemon tree. The soil is holding at 60 degrees, 6 inches deep. Outside, up come the peas (the first batch having mostly given up due to our cold, cold spring -- even for peas), beans, corn, squash, pumpkins and cucumbers. The spinach, lettuce, beets, kale and chard are ready for thinning. The potatoes are looking hopeful and the asparagus, planted when the apple blossoms were on the trees, is still not visible. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are all blooming, as are the onions and leeks. Garlic is plumping up and even our new little peach tree has blossoms. It's a wonderfully rewarding little garden. We already have plans for expansion next year.
