My Ceanothus americanus is flowering and absolutely crawling with insects. Below are pictures of the star-shaped flower buds before bloom and then some more of the blooms themselves
We’ve also harvested a ton of cherries this week, along with snap peas and a second round of lettuce. Our trap tomatoes are growing a little slowly but our production ones are beginning to set fruits.
What’s growing on with you all?
My garden is doing well! I expanded the actual growing space this year at the cost of not growing as much as last summer. I’ll start reaping the benefits in the fall though! I’ve got some green tomatoes growing, a new round of lettuces, and I’ve been harvesting some short day onions that have started flopping over. My cabbage heads are forming nicely, and I seem to have the aphids under control. It seems like the entire Pacific Northwest is suffering an aphid epidemic this year, UGH.
