This edition of T stands for Tuesday is all about my garden….my edible garden that is.
First we have the obligatory beverage. In my case, this morning, it’s still coffee resting along the deck rail. I have three boxes of herbs here and two really sad looking pots behind me in the photo. They are so scraggly and pathetic that I am ready to throw them out. 
My raised bed is doing really well this year. I think having some tree limbs above it trimmed has really helps get the needed sunshine.
Some of my lettuce is ready for a sandwich or salad. I’m thinking I need to boil some eggs for an egg salad sandwich…oh yum. 
This year I decided to plant more than one cucumber plant since in previous years I’ve had such poor production. I also changed the location. They seem to be loving it here. Hopefully I’ll be seeing lots of little cukes from all those blossoms real soon.
My “big garden” has tons of green bean plants that are covered in blossoms and lots of tiny beans beginning to form.
The tomato plants in this garden aren’t looking so great. These are my large red variety vs the small yellow pear shaped ones in the raised bed. Hopefully they will produce some tomatoes.
In addition, I have 4 plants at my in-laws house…2 of each variety. Big J is mowing their lawn this summer so I took them up on the offer of using some of their garden space.
Our CSA farm share has been pretty meager so far. The weather here in MN has been less than ideal. So many fields are under water. What we’ve gotten from the farm share has been good quality…just not much in the quantity.
Another busy Tuesday for me…I’ll be around to visit as soon as I can…
What are you doing today?
Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.
