The sunshine of the past few days may save our garden. Some crops growing outdoors - peas. potatoes. rhubarb, carrots, beets, broccoli and green cabbage - are doing OK, if late and reduced in volume. But three in particular - green beans, red cabbage and artichoke may fail. I remember a couple of summers in the early or mid- 90s, when we didn't get green beans. And artichokes are always sketchy, but red cabbage?
Here's a green bean plant and its flowers:
Here is a flush of leaves - artichoke, poppy, Italian parsley and burdock. The burdock leaves show holes from the "marble-sized" hail they endured last Friday:
Inside the greenhouse, the last of the main basil crop is ready for harvest, and over 100 tomatoes are ripening:
Arugula are flowering for salads and ripening for seed:
And cilantro flowers are beginning to turn into seed berries:

How huge is your garden? These pictures are stunning-- I love your purple poppy!
Have you ever made salsa verde? One year my toddlers picked all of my then-green tomatoes. I was glad they did!
we've made salsa verde before, and probably will this fall.
I have a lot more pictures, but these were all I had time to edit up.
Your garden is so gorgeous, as is your greenhouse!

Has your tomato plant(s) produced much this year? We moved ours inside the house and have had a bumper crop!
