I don't worry too much about grass, flowers and shrubs. I mow the grass and trim the shrubs when necessary, but my main enjoyment comes from the vegetable garden. The lettuce is starting to get a little bitter from the heat, although the romaine is still tasty. I'm still harvesting the collards and kale that I planted in early spring. The potatoes that I planted back in March are now yielding little tubers, so tonight I had new potatoes with collards and kale, fried with onions and curry powder. Delicious! Everything is looking good - tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini...all coming along nicely. I love summer! I posted pics on facebook - but here's a link.
