What's growing on, Beehaw? (beehaw.org)

A handful of lettuces and other greens are starting to bolt, so I'm glad I seeded out another set last week in a different bed. Our replacement peppers are much happier than the old ones, which is nice.

Juniper and I were out picking strawberries and haskaps/honeyberries yesterday. Nothing made it inside, but she was having a blast and was very excited to help out. I was very excited that she was receiving immediate rewards for following directions (beyond praise).

It's uncomfortable enough at the height of the day that I'm potting inside my little workshop in the garage, reserving the early and late hours for field work. Remember to help yourself out with lots of water and good electrolytes!

What's growing on with you all?

My son brought a bean stalk home from school without support. It was the tallest in his class and he was so proud. But he brought it home with no support. It bent over in a few places and explaining it was not going to make it was...rough.
