Pint of snap peas, 3 quarts of strawberries, a bottle of applejack vinegar, Greek chocolate cookies, pita, tzatzik.

I got up and ripped out the mint and larkspur this morning before it got hot or began raining. I planet six corn plants, three Trail of Tears bean plants, and three candy roaster squash. The beans will be fine, and I have hopes for the corn, but I'm going to keep an eye out for the squash. Curcubits transplant poorly.

I also repotted the 5-color Chinese pepper and the cayenne pepper plants into larger pots, and replaced one of the shishito peppers that didn't make it with a fish pepper. I also had to repot my French lavender, since the pot wasn't draining and was terribly waterlogged.

I put a stonecrop and a sempervivium into hanging baskets. Hopefully they'll be able to cope with the heat and way hanging baskets dry out so easily.

I'm going to weigh out and macerate the strawberries for a double batch of the honey-sweetened strawberry/lime/thyme jam.
