The Garden Chronicles - July 25, 2009

Today's harvest features the ever-productive apricots, raspberries, and beets. These are cylinder beets, the first time we have grown this variety. The raspberries are plentiful for July, and more are coming.

The aerial shot of the garden shows everything doing remarkably well. Some small rainfalls in July helped, but we have been watering heavily for most of this season. We are still several inches below average in rain, and this after drought conditions during the last seven years. The harvest so far is a surprise, since our expectations are always low during drought years. We are very satisfied with all our produce this month.
