Carrots and plants that benefit from a little shade.

 Parsley going to seed.  I still take some stalks as needed.

 Beets are not thriving under these conditions

 Cabbage plants in the background are definitely doing poorly.  The mustard plants from the 5 varieties in the mesclun mix.  It survives, but when we cooked it, we found it tough.  I have a lot of learning to do!

 Broccoli, which is pale and eaten  (by snails?)

 Close up of the eaten broccoli.

At this time of year, when the sun shines on the kitchen garden, it is like an oven.
