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

| 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! |
