Only 0.03 inches of rain this week, but the ollas have lost a quarter cup of water (60 mL) at most, indicating soil is still moist within 8 inches of the surface. Lost early beans to frost on Monday. Asparagus is slow this year but steady. Serviceberries are starting to fruit, and it looks like a good crop this year. Flowers came out on the wood sorrel this week. Mints of all varieties are thriving and so are the deer ticks.
