Lots of hot weather and some rain has really helped the garden!

| Peas and carrots |
 |
| Spinach, cilantro and celery |
 |
| A pot of chocolate mint |
 |
| Curly kale, beans and Brussels sprouts |
 |
| Squash and pie pumpkins |
 |
| Cukes and zukes |
 |
| Basil and Russian kale |
Since I took these photos, the plants have shot up even a little more! We've been enjoying spinach salads, kale in our smoothies and mint in our water. I had to add a fence to the box that contains the green beans - the bunnies ate the tops off nearly half of them! Luckily we had the chicken wire fencing in the garage already. I had already put the puny decorative fencing around the smaller boxes and that seems to work just fine. Nothing has been eaten from those boxes, even though there are carrots, peas and spinach in there! I'm hoping there will be no more crop loss for the rest of the season. Today we found a cool looking caterpillar on my celery, which seems to have slowed in growth. It is yellow, black and white - Dave seems to think it will be a monarch! We stuck it in a container with some milkweed leaves and we will see. At least he is no longer making his home in my garden!
