{ Project "Feed Ourselves" Update }

Project "Feed Ourselves" (aka the vegetable garden) is going very slowly. We have had a very wet and cold spring here in the Pac. NW and that cold has set back our already short food growing season by several weeks. The potatoes are plugging along, the lettuces and spinach are happy but everything else...tomatoes, cauliflower, onions, squash and herbs are struggling. I would have had to worry about strawberries except that they were mowed down by the deer last week. I forgot to protect them...sigh. If this keeps up I think our only hope is to return to cold weather crops.
