Wow!  Another month has gone by and it is amazing to see how fast plants grow when it rains alot.  This has been a very rainy and cool spring and summer, which I'm told is unusual around here.  We definitely had our fair share of hot sun too.  The plants have all exploded with growth and flowers and fruit are popping out everywhere.  The daylilies are out, the chestnut trees are blooming, bees are bustling.  I have been enchanted with watching for new things to see every day.  Even the thistles are beautiful! We've got raspberries, kale, basil coming on and soon tomatoes and potatoes will be ready.  We harvested some garlic and its delicious!  I'm so proud of it!  I've been making tons of pesto with holy basil and garlic scapes and lemon balm!
