So it has been a busy summer so far. Gangbuster in the flower/shrub/tree department. Not so hot in the vegetable department. It has been a cool summer for the most part also rainy and windy. Many of our standard items that do well like squashes and pumpkins has had it tough. we really won't know until fall but the winner this year looks like carrots and spinach.  Big surprise in the potted area ....ARTICHOKES!
