The rest of reliable garden correspondent Marvel‘s latest report from the Willamette Valley…
At top: Blueberries. there’ll be a scant harvest this year, but we’ll do better next.
Cabbage unfurling. It’s a green, slo-mo ballet every time.
Area 51. In this fairly compressed snapshot: sunflowers, dill, parsley, tomatoes, popcorn & artichokes. It’s taken several years, but the soil out there is finally in pretty good shape.
Jonagold Apples — growing up cozy and doing their best to repel codling moths. I hope they’re victorious.
Lavender — graceful and sweet-scented.

What’s going on in your gardens this week?
