After a break...
After a quick trip to California, I'm back to try to get my garden in.  Its very late this year due to a very wet Spring.  We had more heavy rain while I was on vacation, and I lost 6 of my 48 tomatoes that I planted just before we left, presumably to being drowned. out.  The remaining plants are growing, as are the weeds.
I finally got my potato patch planted about two months later than I would like.  I had bought the seed potatoes quite some time ago and they were heavily sprouted, but I hope some will grow.
I also got the first of my sweet corn planted.  I like to plant this in three stages for an extended offer.  This first planting was about a month later than I would like.
The late Spring was good for my fruit trees and they all seem to be doing well.  These are small apples coming on my Jonathan apple tree.
A heavy Asian plum harvest is a first, but this tree seems to have a lot of fruit.
Some of my grapes are poised to give me my first significant grape harvest too.  These are from my Norton vines and you can see the grape "flowers" in clusters all over the plant.
