The way things are going with this weather  I should be planting water chestnuts instead of waiting until next weekend to get my eggplants, peppers and tomatoes in the ground!

Well the rain screwed me this year. Only 4 pea plants came up out of 50 or more put in. Picked my first few today. Should of been picking a basket full.

My peas were doing great until last Monday. My wife left the gate open, and something got in, I think geese,  and destroyed every single pea plan I had. .

I had a ground hog do that.

My pickling cukes didn't come up, twice.  Put more seeds in, again.  Straight 8's came up.  Go figure.

I'm way behind in getting things in the ground this year. With all the rain we've had I might be better off.

I'm a bit behind too, but did start picking zucchini a few days ago. 

Herbs all look good, I keep them close to the house for easy cooking access. Oregano, Basil, Parsley Thyme, Sage, Mint, Rosemary and Mexican Oregano.

The garden is looking good, things are starting to move now.  I have 2 types of kale, Lacinato and Premier.  Behind them, a late planting of zucchini, yellow squash and butternut and acorn squash. Pumpkins to go in later.

Bell, cubanelle, jalapeno, and pablano peppers, Italian, Japanese and classic eggplant, cucumbers, and zucchini at the end of the row.

Zucchini and yellow squash hills, then 24 pickle plants (I jar A LOT of pickles), then some red cherry, orange cherry, grape, Ramapo, Roma and Heirloom tomatoes.

String beans and yellow wax beans. They didn't come up too well, but I did a late planting of the same thing today right next to this row, so I should do okay with beans.

I put in a new strawberry patch. They are starting to sprout runners. After I get the runners planted though the plastic they will hold it down, and I can get rid of the wood. Blueberry bushes look good too. Last year I didn't get many berries but they are doing better this year. A few bushes died and I had to transplant new ones, but they have berries too. 

Behind the fence on the left side, I have a few peach trees, and on the other side, behind the blueberry row, there are apple trees. They are a year or two away from producing fruit but there are Honey Crisp, Red Rome, Granny Smith and Fugi apples, white and classic peaches.

Blueberry patch along the driveway looks good too.
