The gardens look great.  We have a little weeding to do after being gone for almost a week.  The vines must have liked the weather while we were gone, because they have tripled in size.

Everything in the gardens looks great, except the cucumbers and peppers.  They should still produce, but they'll be later than normal.

Swiss Chard -
Chard may be a new veggie for you.  This is how I cook it:  Steam until tender.  Add salt & pepper and a little butter (should melt to coat the leaves.)  It's also great raw added to salads!


How the Gardens Look this Week...
The gardens look great!  Everything is growing well.  We've had plenty of timely rains this year.  Thankfully, our soil is sandy, so even the heavy rains just get soaked into the soil, without puddling.  In fact, I was going to take a few pictures of the gardens this week for you, but it's raining right now.  I'll have to take them and add them later.

How the Gardens Grow
The gardens look great this week!  They have really recovered from the last hail storm.  Hopefully, in the next two weeks you'll be seeing baby potatoes, beets, beans, and peas in the baskets.  All of the plants really like this warm weather we've been having.  They have just exploded!
