Today was a busy day! Almost all of the perennial beds got mulched after mowing (don't worry, there's still tons of long grasses and clovers for the bugs). Our plums are setting fruit, blueberries and serviceberries are ripening, and I've confirmed that the birds know about all of my haskaps. Tomatoes are climbing, pumpkins are running, and my replacement peppers are looking happy, but I'll be more excited when I start seeing them fruit.

What's growing on with you all?

Picking some fresh raspberries every couple days and trying to keep everything on the balcony alive while it's 30°C out. Seems like most of my sage plants have given up even though I trimmed their flowers, that's unexpected. Fig cutting seems to be thriving in this weather, so that's nice, since it was definitely dying before.

Have you tried telling your sage how proud of the fig you are? That and some additional nitrogen inputs might get them to bounce back too
