We moved some plants around this year with varying degrees of success. In the past, we mixed in vegetable plants with the decorative ones in the borders, but this year we marked off dedicated space for vegetables and planted seeds directly into the ground in early June. Lettuce, broccoli, and peas were early successes. The chard is plentiful and the borage seems happy as well.
The tomatoes have been slow, but we have new red ones every day now. We should be overrun with zucchini by this time of year, but we’re just now getting our first ones. Asparagus was a total failure.
Luckily, the Anaheim chiles are doing well. We picked and roasted a few last weekend and are looking forward to using them in all manner of dishes – from soup to green chile cheeseburgers.
