Some of my red lettuce bolted from the heat, but I started a new batch (and bought a few plants from the local farmstand).

Well, we had a good rain overnight (1.85 inches/47mm) so everything is looking fresh this morning. Not much smoke yet, either. AQI is down to a moderate 73 right now.HOWEVER the fact that the rain was belting down at rates over 2 inches/hour (52mm/hr) meant that a lot of the youngest of the corn crop got laid flat. We got to work & "heeled" it all back upright & added the rope supports that it should have already had. 😀 🌽

Here we go! The first planting of sweetcorn is probably about a week to 10 days away from readiness. Almost time to begin our cornfest! 😀 🌽

I know that corn is wind pollinated, but it's nice to see the bees collecting their share of the pollen on this fine morning.

While doing our morning picking, BeetBear noticed that two of the corn stalks were broken off and laying on the ground. Very mysterious. Don't think it was wind. Probably skunk or raccoon. We will have to up our surveillance and prepare to TAKE STEPS!. We set out the surplus for the neighbors again and just generally anticipating the start of SWEETCORN SEASON!

After all the picking and sorting this morning, and setting aside "the best" for our own use, we have set out the surplus for the neighbors.

The eggplant (Aubergines, if you will) are looking particularly strong and vigorous this season. I put this down to a complete absence of any flea beetles this year. This is the first year in as long as I can remember without all their leaves being full of holes. Got to go pick some more.

Got in the first picking of pole beans this morning. These are var. Kentucky Blue and are having a good year. They must like their new spot that's partially shaded in the mornings. Beans with dinner tonight.

The Ailsa Craig onions are really coming along nicely now. They had a rough start early on in the spring and a fair few of the plants didn't take at all. Now, the remaining plants are bulking up nicely. They're a pain to weed, though.

So yeah. I'm thinking the #CommunityGarden might be too hot and sunny for potatoes. The ones I'm growing in containers at home (and move to the shade when it's hot) are doing a lot better...
Excerpt: "Temperatures above 86 will stop green growth and temperatures above 95 will stop root growth in potatoes. An average daytime temperature over 85 degrees during the primary growth stage, the first 2 months, will cause poor growth and a low yield for potatoes."
Can I Plant Potatoes in the Summer? (tips for a late harvest)
"Potatoes are an important crop for us. They are the earliest producing high-calorie crop we grow, but what about planting them late?
Potatoes can be planted early-mid summer in cool regions. They will grow fast and yield well as long as the weather doesn’t get too hot. Potatoes can be planted as late as June and early July and still get a full harvest before winter. Potatoes need 90 to 110 days before frost to fully mature." [So, I tend to harvest them small, so that won't take as long. Also, #ClimateChange factors in...]

I met two more plot neighbors at the #CommunityGarden today, and harvested some new potatoes. I have one more potato plant left there (that's not ready for harvesting but close), and more in containers at my #HomeGarden. Leaving the dirt on the harvested potatoes, and storing them for a week or two before we eat them. I may plant some more in the community garden and might be able to get a second harvest before the season is over.

Short on garden space? Grow potatoes in a barrel! 🥔
Use a deep container (~1.2m/4ft) with drainage holes. Layer stones for drainage, then add well-rotted compost with fertiliser. Top with a deep layer of potting compost and you're ready to plant your spuds!

Went out picking this morning before it got too hot again. Lots of things starting to come ripe now, although most of the tomatoes are small and scarred from the storms earlier in the year. (They still taste mighty fine, though) The younger, unripe ones are looking much better. Put the surplus out for the neighborhood again.

All this heat and rain is really helping the corn along nicely. If we can just avoid having any storms knock it all down it will be a good harvest year. Shots taken this evening. The silk is starting to show! 😀

So "Italian night" dinner is a very "winged it" simple pasta. Basically the fried up zucchini and bacon, add garlic, then some pasta water and ricotta, and cook that down a bit. Finish with last year's semi-dried cherry tomatoes in oil plus chopped parsley and basil. "Season to taste."
Not too impressed by this "gigli" pasta, it went from undercooked to actual disintegration in about 30 seconds.

Homemade sourdough flat bread, and home grown stir fry veggies with some satay chicken. Eating well tonight. The broad beans are especially on point. 😋

All of today's surplus veg. offerings were taken by noon. Still wicked hot, but the garden is holding up pretty well. The ground still has a lot of moisture in it, so nothing out there is wilting - yet. Found the raspberries not too happy. The ripe ones are getting bleached boiled where they are in direct sun. The shaded ones and the younger fruits seem to be ok, so I'm hoping the damages are limited to the early fruits. We'll see...
