We've made it through our first hot days

The garden continues to keep right on growing.  The patches of hot weather over the last two weeks have not deterred the progress nor the production.

We continue to harvest good amounts of asparagus.  Production from the 4 beds is about 6 pounds per week.  It looks like we have at least another 3 weeks of production left.  We are also harvesting romaine lettuce on a regular basis along with kale, leaf lettuce, and spinach.  All seem to be continuing to hold up well in the heat.

The peas, beans, carrots, chard, broccoli, brussel sprouts, onions, cucumbers, and potatoes are all shooting up with the hot days and cooler nights.  I am now to the  top of the wire bins with leaves and straw for the potato plants.  They just seem to keep growing.

I snapped all the garlic scapes today.  This is probably the earliest we have seen them.  It will be an early harvest.
