The July 8th Garden

The perennial end. From left, lemongrass, sorrel, horseradish, dill in front of rhubarb.

Raspberries were a little weak in the June crop. Hoping for better in August.
Here you can see garlic almost ready for pulling (it's pulled now, sugar snaps climbing strings outside the fence and beans just starting inside the fence.
The garden helper is watering beets and onions.
Foreground, brussel sprouts, then a row of leeks, then enormous cauliflower plants (no heads), two huge nappa cabbages and parsnips behind the bench (that you can barely see).
Chard was planted too close together, but is otherwise doing well. Small, but healthy, okra is smashed in the corner and the first of 5 tomatillo plants is looking good.
Kale comes up everywhere with enormous leaves that shade out tomato plants. Lettuce has bolted, but isn't pulled yet (ask the manager - I don't know why.)
Just another view of beets and onions. The onions have all fallen over and haven't been weeded very well. It's going to hurt that crop.
