Goodbye Spring, Hello Summer

It has been difficult to fit in time to keep up the blog as I had wished. A whole month has passed since I last posted, school and work has occupied much of my time over the month of June. I was able to get out and shoot some pics from the gardens between the rain showers, studying and working. Even though the weather has not been kind to us we have been able to enjoy beautiful floral bouquets, fresh herbs and salad greens from the gardens.

Planting continues and we are waiting patiently for the vegetable plants to start producing. IF the sun ever decides to shine, we should be seeing some raspberries soon. The spinach and radishes are beginning to come in now and we are eagerly awaiting; zuchini, greenbeans, soybeans, broccoli, cabbage, beets, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other goodies.
