RE: https://glammr.us/@metacat/117100043439303398
I like to fill my undercanopy with herbs to prevent weed infiltration. I also save some weeds (lambs quarters) as aphid traps that protect my strawberries and whatnot.
Surprising what weeds can do when they aren't violent (looking at you bindweed)

This morning's harvest: About 2 gal of beans at the bottom, then more tomatoes and green bell peppers.

Harvest is already upon me. This morning was a few tomatoes and the leading edge of the snap bean hurricane.
I finally grew a slicer tomato! Last year, I messed up and lost track of which plants were which, so I had a cherry-sunami. Finally, sliced tomatoes and fried green tomatoes!

When we moved into our new house last summer we found 2 Hibiscus bushes in sad shape. They were stuffed in small brick planters on either side of our front entrance, without light or moisture.
In the spring we moved them to a front corner of our lot, giving them room to grow. We've been rewarded with dark red blooms that are 8+ inches across. Once established we expect these Hibiscus bushes to be 5 to 6 feet high.

Pictures of my plots at the community garden (allotment) at mid-summer. Lots of things growing!
Details of each plot are in the alt-text.

After all that fishing, it was time to harvest the Yukon potatoes, which were all dead on top, but lots of goodness in the ground!
That's 32 pounds (14.5 kg) of yummy taters!
I did catch a bit of heat exhaustion though, it snuck up on me! Be careful out there.

I've turned into a cynical MidwesternUS gardener...
Weather Forecast: 95% chance of rain!
Weather Radar: - shows big blob of weather heading my way -
Me: Yea... I'm just gonna water my containers and sprouts. Maybe it'll rain. Maybe it won't.

I did have a question about my onions. For many of them, the bulbs are showing.
Is that bad, like how you have to cover the potatoes if they show? Or is that all part of the deal with onions?

My new plot is all about the squash, but for some reason, my winter squash seeds didn't germinate! I'm trying again, but I'm concerned now. I may have to transplant next year.
My tomatoes are growing gangbusters. I'm taking a mostly hands off approach, aside from trying to keep the vines growing up instead of out. We'll see if that helps.

Apparently hardiness zone maps for Canada were updated last year for the 1st time in a decade by Natural Resources Canada. I checked our area and we went from a frosty #Zone5a to a tropical #Zone5b. Woo hoo! Gonna plant some bananas tomorrow.
Someone needs to tell #MotherNature about the update because we had record snowfall and cold weather this past winter...

The planting beds are built, leveled on some natural flagstone and filled with soil. The top 8 to 10 inches was amended with peat moss, compost from our local recycling centre, and composted cow manure. Mmmm Mmmm good. Harley is ready to chase bunnies and protect the carrots, her favourite.
The mindless hard physical labour is done and now the intelligent workforce takes over. My wife will start planting tomorrow while I'm out golfing. -

First full summer in the new house so a new garden project is underway. I'm setting up 2 raised planters on a flagstone base and hopefully they'll be ready for planting early next week. This is a Kale-Free zone.
