Week 3 -- Summer!

Posted on July 1st, 2024 by Kristine Hammel

Frieda and I found this chrysalis in the greenhouse this morning. We are growing native plants, including swamp milkweed. A couple of weeks ago, we saw a monarch caterpillar on the milkweed plants. And this morning we discovered this chrysalis! Which just goes to show...'if you plant them, they will come'! 

Interested in adding native plants to your balcony or yard? Check out which native flowers we have available and discover great resources here.

Back to the vegetables! We have one more week to weed, mulch, tidy, prune and trellis in the garden. Next week, we start seeding and planting for autumn!

New in your shares this week -- the first broccoli! Cabbages and cauliflower will follow soon. The peas are giant and blooming profusely...sugar snaps and snows next week?
