Two posts in one day! Holy crap!

This is where I've been hanging out lately.  It's the best place to read.

There's been a lot happening in the garden.  We've just about reached the end of the yummy lettuce.  Much of it's now too bitter.  Lettuce just doesn't like temperatures above 90 degrees.  I'm with you on that, lettuce.  Our tomatoes are doing well.  We're already harvesting the cherry tomatoes and it  looks like it won't be long before the big boys are ready.

See the little cherry tomatoes on the left?  Now look at the big green ones on the right.  That plant is loaded! 

The chard is still doing really well and it's quite a bounty this year.

Good for us that we love chard!

The little grapefruit/tangerine hybrid that Suzanne and Melinda gave me has now produced little fruit.

  

Here's our volunteer squash plant that's growing along the edge of the garden.

I planted things in the concrete blocks that surround the garden.  Here's one of my

favorites: Loebelia.  The blue is really that intense.  Next to that is baby thyme. 

Just wanted to show you a picture of the beautiful big

Talavera pot I found on one of my bulky pick-up day

outings.  

I also found this big metal grid that works perfectly as a plant table.  I'll soon be repotting more succulents and this is where they'll live.

We're still designing our chicken coop.   I thought we'd be building by now, but such are the woes of urban farming.  I guess I'll be happy if the chickens are safe, comfortable, and productive.
