Garden Late June Part Two - Parkrose Permaculture

Middle of the backard, chicken coop in background

Part two of Late June in the garden: Â the backyard. Â Rhubarb, beans, amaranth, garlic, pole beans, tomatoes, tomatillos, volunteer chard and sunflowers.

The side yard, with shed in the background

Raspberries in the back and side yards are still cranking out the berries. Â The side yard patch (on the left) has encroached upon the path and blueberries, columbine and dahlias (to the right). Â Ah well, I do love that wild, overgrown look to the garden.

It’s going to be a great year for elderberries. Â Both the native and Asian elderberry in our shade garden are loaded full of young fruit.

We will finally be getting apples this year! Â Six of our dozen+ young apple trees have fruit! Â And the quinces and one fig have set some fruit as well. Â So good to see our investment in perennial fruit crops begin to yield a harvest!

Potatoes, poppies, hollyhocks, kale, cucumber, chard, pumpkins, tomatoes, white clover, currants, gladioulus, chard, filbert: a healthy and vigorous polculture, full of bees every morning — Potatoes, poppies, hollyhocks, kale, cucumber, chard, sage, chives, pumpkins, tomatoes, white clover, currants, gladioulus, chard, filbert: a healthy and vigorous polculture, full of bees every morning

Corn poppies: a self-sowing annual poppy. Reliable, beautiful, and low-maintenance.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of our permaculture farmette. Â I will try to post a few more times this week as we hide from the summer heat. Â Stay cool!
