Garden Update - Finally Stopped Raining!

We've had rain almost every day in June! You know it's been raining a lot when you find these in the lawn:


Other than the mushrooms and a crop of weeds (I don't know all of their names, other than goldenrod and dandelion), the progress is all good. All of the rain seems to have fueled a growth spurt in the garden. :)

This is a group photo of the tomato plants. Some of them have grown dramatically in the past week or so. The "Jersey Devil" seems squeezed within its cage. We have some blossoms but I don't think any fruit has set.


This is the zucchini that grows round fruits (I think it's EightBall):





I didn't photograph the sugar snap peas, but they were badly in need of support. I've used all of my tomato cages already, but I found one stake. I hope it helps!

I don't think I've shared any photos of my son's strawberry plants. He's been taking good care of them! There are three plants on different sides of this jar:


The flower beds were especially in need of weeding, but some of the flowers look spectacular. These are the daisy-like chrysanthemums, now in full bloom:



The lilies are blooming! I think these are so pretty!


This Japanese iris was a free-with-purchase item. They've been pelted by the rain but still look pretty:

The black-eyed Susan, which is going to need dividing this year, is getting ready to bloom. I hope to have photos of that next week.

Soon we are expecting typical New Jersey summer: humid with temperatures in the 90s. Maybe the tomatoes will start to set fruit then.
