I also planted more spinach, lettuce and a few more pea plants the other day to have a new crop late summer/early fall. My lettuce did come back though, after the hail. More plants bolted through the week though. I think next year I will look for a bolt resistant variety of lettuce and spinach for the sunny parts of the yard and try something similar to the ones I planted this year in the shadier parts of my garden, like under my ash tree. Especially the Mesculin Spicy mix lettuce that I planted. They seem to be the least tolerant of the summer heat here.
I will also be mixing in a bunch of top soil with manure from the farm this fall and rotor till it in this fall.
Here are some of my peas growing. These are sugar peas with edible pod. |

Here is some lettuce. This area of the garden didn't have too much bolting. |

Here is the mescaline. It really is quite spicy! I thinned it out so much by pulling out all the plants that bolted. |
Parsley |

Here is the new garden we tilled. I planted potatoes here and that should break up the soil more too. I will make this into a raised garden with a bench seat along the edge. |

Basil. I will take this in the house this fall and keep them in a pot over the winter. I don't know how well they will do inside but we will try! :) |

Oregano. I will take this inside too this winter. Hopefully it survives! |
