If nothing else things are ripening well, without the worry of rain causing things to regrow, split and rot....but people are wasting water using hoses and sprinklers, especially on lawns.
Water straight from the tap is not good for plants anyway, because of the treatment chemicals.
The onions and shallots are leaning over ready to dry out. Soon there will be room for the next plants to go in!!

Love the photos. Interesting about the water that comes from the tap. It's the rainy season in Central Florida, yet one of my yard crazed neighbors are still allowing their automatic sprinkler system water their yards. I am over here wondering how to remove the grass from my yard. Probably too much work for an older couple, but every bit I reclaim for flower gardens makes me happy. I envy you your green thumb.
Beautiful photos all!
Nice! It's true about tap water. We now have two rain barrels, that collect water from the roof in winter and spring. I've almost used up the second, it being a drought-ish year in Western Oregon. But thanks to my son's plantings, we have a lot of drought-resistant flowers.
We never water the grass. It just doesn't need it. If it gets brown, so what? It comes back the minute the rains start again.

I use rain water for the plants as much as I can, but as I no longer have a collection barrel, it's up to what falls into the bucket.
Gorgeous veg and flowers. An impressive crop of garlic indeed!!
Is the jar cream from your local dairy? I seem to remember you mentioned something along those lines (a milk dispensing machine?)
Maria that is a jar of homemade yoghurt. I keep as much as I can in glass , not plastic. The milk I use is from a local organic dairy
