I know you just heard from me yesterday. 

I don’t want to overstay my welcome in your inbox, but I wanted to clarify something that has been happening in the background and that some of you have already guessed at.  

As many of you know, I moved last year. 

I also decided to switch to raised beds this year, as I was tired of fighting with the incredibly poor-quality soil out at my boyfriend’s place. Some of you have noticed I haven’t mentioned him in my newsletters for quite some time. I made the decision to end that relationship last year. It was sad, but it was time to move on, and I hope he is well and happy, as I am.

Of course, that meant I would be starting an entirely new garden this spring from scratch here at my place. 

But hoo boy! When you are one person working on your own and the spring weather is far from cooperative, it’s very slow work. I’m finally getting around to planting. And that’s what I wanted to share with you today. I know for many of us, there’s this sense that if we don’t get our gardens in the ground as soon as the season starts, it’s too late. 

That’s not the case! There are still so many vegetables you can plant in July! Whether you got off to a late start or you want to plant round two, you’ll want to read this.
