State of the Garden: End of July

 It was so good to see that my granddaughter Callie has the love of watering and being with plants.  We had some garden time in July and she really enjoyed using her watering can.  Me, too!  We hosted part of Kaslo's edible garden tour yesterday and Callie would have been a perfect companion to have in the garden and more of showstopper than the oakleaf hydrangea. 

The blueberries are almost completely picked as July comes to a close.  The raspberries and peas are pretty much finished as well.  Beans are getting picked daily, the zuccini are just starting to emerge and the carrots have been thinned with lots of good eating involved.  Yesterday, I was able to harvest some of the larger beets, we picked the garlic today (and it's twice the size of last year), and peaches (purchased at the Kaslo Market) were canned today.  The garden is keeping us very busy.  Wish we still had busy Callie here to help out with the watering!  The perennial border is stunning, thanks to all of your watering, Callie.
