It’s June and we have some fruits developing on our haskaps and strawberries; I think something has gotten to our serviceberries and plums though (curculio maybe). And so many more flowers!

Geraniums, Spurge, Lily of the Valley, and tricolor Willow:

Blackberries and Irises:

Rhododendron with a solitary bee:

Some of the weeds have been going haam too; I think I removed about 2 miles of Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) yesterday just from one garden area.

What’s growing on with you all?

    My potatoes are in an absolute riot of growth, to the point that they’re shading out plants next to them! Lesson learned, next year they get a bed to themselves!

    The cucumbers and squash are growing up my trellis arch really well, so I’m hopeful that by the time it gets really hot I’ll have some shade there.

    It’s been wonderful to harvest fresh lettuce for my lunch daily, and I’ve had some great salads with my radishes. Definitely going to keep succession planting those! If I’d planned better I would have staggered them a little more in my initial planting.

    Haven’t gotten the photo upload to work with the app I use (Connect) but maybe I’ll try from my computer later.

    • That’s great! Some radishes are super quick to grow, but I really enjoy their greens too. I don’t mind seeding them out in other places where they’ll get crowded out if I know I’m taking their tops.

      Sometimes I have trouble uploading pictures as well, whether through the Beehaw pwa, site, or another app. One workaround I use is

      ![](imageurlgoeshere)

      to display the pictures in the thread, so if you or other folks use things like imgur or imgbb that’s an option as well.
