I have been VERY busy in the garden in the last week and a half, particularly since the weather turned warm and dry on July 4. I took pictures every day, but was so tired once I got inside that I didn’t have the energy to post anything. My apologies. I am writing this Sunday evening for posting Monday. Here is a series of shots of the veggie garden. Only a few things left to do, such as weeding and re-mounding the potatoes. That is today’s (Monday’s) chore. Then just maintenance until time to plant the late-season crops.
Clear spaces for planting, green spaces growing. You can see that there are fewer and fewer clear spaces!
The little tomatoes getting bigger…
As transplanted.
As they were three days ago.
PUMPKINS FINALLY GROWING!
Peas and beans.
Earlier…
And now.
Pickling cucumbers.
June 24. That brown spot in the center of the picture is where three short rows were planted.
July 7. Note the rounded trellis — we are experimenting with materials and shape this year!
I have also added some melons started from seed we saved last year. NO idea if they will produce “true to type” but I am hoping. And yesterday afternoon I noticed (they weren’t there on July 7) that we have several volunteer … squash? zucchini? melon? in the bed that we are not using this year
[update on weather at 8:20 Monday morning. Overcast. Cool. Should clear up and be sunny and warmer later.]
