June 2025 Garden Update

It’s been a cool spring here which has been good for my cool weather plants. Some years it gets hot so early that we get a grand total of one pea before the plants die off. This year we’ve had a good crop. I had visions of stir fries but my daughter loves snow peas in her lunch so she’s been getting most of them with carrots, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. I’ve been snacking on the peas too, and loving fresh salads from my lettuce.

We have been loving watching the family of bunnies that have moved in this year. So far they are staying away from my garden aside from some Brussels sprouts and cilantro early on. Mostly they go after the clover in the lawn, so yay for not spraying weeds. I’m hoping we can keep this set up as the summer gets hotter.

I’ve just been listening to my regular audiobooks while I work outside. This time of year the work isn’t heavy so it’s manageable in a half hour or so every few days. Later though I’ll need some full days in the sun and some engrossing audiobooks to keep me going. I have a library book I want to read this month too - The Hungry Season by Lisa M Hamilton.
