The weather has been odd, as it has been nearly everywhere from what I can tell. My sugar snap peas enjoyed the cooler weather and kept producing and producing but I was worried about the tomatoes and other hot-weather crops. Finally we got some heat, which of course killed off the sugar snap peas. But I have two tomatoes that are pinkish and one pepper. I've already eaten two cucumbers, tons of radishes and lettuce (which will also likely disappear with the heat).
My celery is growing like gangbusters but I'm not sure when to harvest it. I've also added an apricot tree and a dwarf fig tree to the chicken yard.

The Quarter-Acre Farm: How I Kept the Patio, Lost the Lawn, and Fed My Family for a Year
for my birthday and I'm really enjoying it. Definitely some recipes I want to try as well as good gardening advice plus just a fun story.

The weather has been very odd on the east coast as well...enjoyed your pics!
Book sounds interesting. And your potatoes look so cute in that barrel. I'm having the same experience with my garden - the heat is knocking all the cool season stuff out but come on? Rain!! My tomatoes and squash need sun!!!
