Those are some sad little shallots, but it's still a bit early.

PS: Raspberry jam was made today. Still waiting on blueberries (hang on Kate!)

Forecast for Northern Oregon Cascade Foothills: June 6, 2008

Showers...small hail possible in the afternoon.

Hail? My next door neighbor (read: over the fence gardening buddy) who has lived here far longer than me, and has a garden three times the size, informed me last month that this would be "the year without a summer." Then about 2 weeks later, it almost hit 100 degrees. Yeah, what does he know, right?

Three days later the temperature dropped 40 degrees, and has rained, rained, rained every day since. I'm not growing a garden out there, I'm making minestrone. And now, apparently, I'm going to freeze it.
