Garden up - 5

What a strange spring/early summer we are having. We've had many days in the 90s and almost no rain. I've been trying to keep my young plants and my pots and my garden watered but the grass looks like it usually does in August. Which is to say it looks brown. Sad.

My pea plants have been making lots of peas. It takes a good amount of concentration to pick peas because the plant is the same color as the peas. I have two rows of green beans started. I have basil, thyme, parsley, dill (my favorite) and tomatoes too. And I have potatoes planted in two big pots just because I love to see how vigorously they grow. As soon as the peas are done I will plant something else – maybe some beets or another row of green beans.

Today I found a caterpillar. It was on a carrot that was leftover from last year. I'm worried it will run out of carrot greens to eat.
