My potato plants started turning yellow and falling over so I harvested them today. These came out of a 3' x 3' raised bed. I only planted red fingerlings, the purple are volunteers from last year!

Nice haul! I have more to dig soon too.
Tonight’s eggplant harvest. Ping Tung and Millionaire. Starting to notice a little onset of mites on the plants though. Any treatment recommendations out there? A few plants got it pretty bad last year.

Sweetheart on mazzard roots, sweetheart being a popular but older varietal out of Summerland Research station up in BC. Believe it came out in the late 80s. They also developed lapin, Skeena and staccato sweet cherry varieties, lots others but those being the most popular in WA.

Seed saving, potato digging, pepper picking in progress now. Late tomato start this year and gonna need until into October. Bees for pollination noticeably absent this year, trees getting bigger, full sun becoming harder to come by . For a tomato guy it is difficult here but love where i live.

While my tomato plants are huge 5-8’ tall they are getting a crew cut today to force the fruit growth. Peppers are going crazy. The soil is great. My watering has been regular though occasionally excessive. I have picked some growing fruit to toss because of too much water that suffoctes the plants depriving of oxygen- these two of 20 i planted are in pots. 
trombocini and jenny lind melons doing great. Here is a pepper grove. Just too many 100+ ‘ treeshere in downtown but it benefits greens and herbs which are being picked and dried regularly.

I grew a lot of lillies at my old place . I made the mistake of putting 5 or 6 in a vase in the house. Headache. The scent can be over the top for me. One is wonderful then add Asiatic unscented ones.
