super-rainy-summer. good for the garden...i suppose. makes me annoyed at myself that when it's not raining, i really do not spend enough time out there.
a few sunflowers have blossomed! one of them is of the red variety! yay. i specifically planted about 6 on the far-side of the garden fence,nearest the road,but still over 20 feet from the actual road and about half of those have been to all appearances,chomped in half. no more top. nothing. and there's no evidence of anything. in my head, it's some 'Lost'-like scenario that is half-ing my sunflowers! good thing i still have at least a dozen that planted themselves from last years sunflowers.
snap peas are currently sustaining us, food-wise. while any actual peas continue to be less-than-exilerating
also, greens such as lettuce, spinach and radish-greens are fine and have the potential to make me entirely sick of them if i wasn't so satisfied with not having to grocery shop for produce.
as i have previously mentioned, a lot of tomato plants were victims of blight, but there are a couple that we might get a tomato or two off of...grumble grumble.
also finally! eggplant plants?!?
corn is still stunted. all squash,pumpkin and melon plants have blossomed w/in the last day or so. cucumbers are...only 2(of 6) survived, but have not blossomed yet.
one nasturtium (flowered)...amazing that more did not survive as i previously have been known to consider them indestructable as they were THE ONLY THING that survived in PDX.
though, the only ones that i planted this year were from seeds that i saved from last years plants, so...
onions and garlic are almost there,but are really just miniature-versions of actually edible, exciting food. so i think that we'll give them another week or so to continue growing.
dahlias have buds but have not blossomed yet.
more string beans than ever. might can some. might. could freeze them too, we'll see.
