Oh my goodness, this has been such a pathetic summer so far. We have not had a single hot day at an outdoor pool. We have had a few mid week hot days... that's it!
I was out staring at my garden today. Our corn is growing, the flowers have come out on the runner bean plants. There are signs of life. Some baby lettuces may do just fine in the weather so I pulled out the lettuce that has bolted to give the babies room. And I picked some peas and strawberries.
So I am wondering what I can plant in a few bare spots. It looks like in Vancouver we can still do a lot! But I am not happy with my carrots and beets- too wimpy. So I think I will stick to greens which I know we will consume regularly. So in these not so dog days of summer I am going to sew new kale, lettuce and swiss chard. I will hold off on spinach and arugula till August.
Someone please remind me to feed the plants too
