The vegetables and flowers are absolutely loving the sunshine and hot weather we have been having here in Vancouver. Sometimes a little too much so. The heat can get a bit extreme on the roof. That reminds me....we should get a thermometer to record what's going on.
Jennifer, Laura and I pruning, staking and securing the tomatoes. The wind blew over a whole bunch the night before.
Laura is our new summer intern. She will be working with SPEC's Food Safety and Security Committee on a number of projects. Welcome aboard Laura!One of our many varieties of tomatoes.
Marigolds and other flowers have been placed between the rows of tomatoes to attract pollinating insects to the tomatoes.

I will forever think of my cabbage patch kid - Ken George when I see cabbage plants.
Jennifer and Laura are hanging out with the solar cooker.
The tomato growing upside down (to the left of Jennifer) in the topsy turvy is doing okay. It does not seem as large as the other ones but there are a few small tomatoes coming in.Time will tell.
These are pictures from Karen's garden on Bowen Island. The pea trellis is made from bamboo that was invading the community garden site.
Hoop house over raised beds.
Container gardening for your boat!
