  Hi Rose,
  
  Well, if when you do venture back to Seattle, come visit me. We can talk all about hoop houses and cold frames as I have had to learn all about them in our chilly spring to autumn weather. We never get the heat for heirloom tomatoes so I mostly plant sungold and stupice varieties. I am on my third attempt at eggplants. Maybe it'll get sunny one of these days.

  Hi Twigrat, so jealous of your warm growing season. We are getting another coldspell and endless rain here in Seattle. My cool weather crops are doing well, but my poor tomatoes are freezing. Sigh...

  For the summer, I have planted zucchini, crookneck, butternut squash, watermelon and pumpkins for my little girl, tomatoes for my husband, and a variety of peppers. :) Lots of volunteer tomatoes and sunflowers from last year.
  
  My oldest daughter planted some corn, and pinto beans near the pumpkins.
  
  Still gathering carrots, broccoli, arugula.
  
  The cauliflower is finished, as well as the lettuce and spinach, which all bolted.
  
  Still waiting for the onions, leeks, and brussels sprouts to mature for harvesting. They are behind and small, and I'm not sure why.
  
  We have catnip, oregano, and dill finally. We reseeded chives and cilantro, but only a tiny bit of cilantro looks like it has sprouted.
