After a few beautiful days in the lower 80s, temps are moving back up to the 90s. I gave the garden a good shot of water early this morning while the dew was still on the leaves and the plants were cool, that way I wouldn't shock any of the growing fruit.
And there is a lot of growing fruit. You know how when you first plant your garden it seems like there is a lot of space and maybe you could have even planted more in that amount of space (I think this every year). Well, this time of year the garden begins to look very crowded. I like the crowded, jungle look of a garden.
I don't know if I will be able to get the cucumbers to climb these poles as planned, they seem determined to crawl into the rest of the garden instead.
The bell peppers are growing and
the eggplants have blossoms.
The few peas that grew are ready to be harvested.
We have flowers blooming, both Zinnas and
Marigolds.
All week we have been eating salads from our garden. Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, green beans, peas, fennel fronds, and some small second planting radishes have filled our bowls this week.
it has the look of a garden with a loving gardener. I hope to find mine alive when I go back home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view of the garden! Your trellises are perfect. Yum!
