end of june garden

Lots of things are thriving now- and the scented plants, rue on one end of the garden, marigolds, hyssop

and wormwood on the other- seem to be keeping the rabbit away so far.

I recently planted out my zucchinis,

cucumbers

and cantaloupe

Peppers growing great

And all the basils- the ruffly one, lemon basil, regular sweet basil, purple amaratto basil

I haven't used the variations on tarragon yet- just noticed the one in a pot has finely serrated edges-

We're eating leeks regularly now, and had first tomato last night. Chard almost big enough to cut now too.

Have too many chamomile plants!

Need to figure out what this plant is! the one I thought a reverted wild coleus? it's getting huge leaves.

my kid's plants

He's planting one of the beds this year with flowers and herbs. Because didn't have time due to school and rehersals, I potted up the seedlings for him a few days ago.

Catmint 

Chia 

St john's wort 

Chamomile- so many! I pricked out a dozen into three-inch pots

so delicate and ferny

and there were still tons in the seedling tray. He begged me to save some of those- so I thinned them out, moved a few to space them better, sprinkled a bit more soil over the top (as they were in a sterile seedling mix) and misted. There's at least fifty:

They looked fine, until yesterday I forgot to bring them in from the mini greenhouse. So they were out all night in a chill, and then got overheated because I didn't notice they were on the top shelf right under the roof, until it was afternoon. I immediately brought them indoors where it's cooler and watered, but only a few perked up again. I hope he's not mad at me for killing his seedlings!
