Summer push

I hate to use the word late in the same sentence as garden. It gives a feeling of finality which I hate.  So I'm sticking with summer for the time being when referring to gardening.  After a long weekend and last evening I have gotten quite a bit planted in the recently dried out back gardens.  More summer squash and cucumbers, lettuce, beets, carrots, herbs and cauliflower and broccoli transplants.  The garlic is almost harvested and the barn is redolent with the smell of the stinking rose.  There is plenty of weeding to do, but at least it is starting to look like a garden again.  It's time to start thinking about planting fall spinach, but maybe next week.
