Persevering Plants and a few Casualties


   The ground is so wet from all the rain we've had that a number of the larger plants are falling over.  This includes several sunflowers (this one is propped up with a branch), all of the Early Romanesco cauliflower, and a squash.




   This was the healthiest and largest of the Early Prolific Squash I had growing.  Between the constantly damp soil and last night's wind, the plant blew over, damaging the roots and the main stem.  Er ist kaputt.




The two Black Sea Man plants have started to develop tomatoes.







The first batch of raspberries are almost ready to be picked! Unfortunately, weeding of the patch will have to be finally be done at the same time...groan...


  

The first little Coastal Pride Orange tomato!  (Left side of plant, halfway up.  Click to enlarge.)




Some of the volunteer pansies transplanted from the main gardens.
