Growing Stuff
The weather has not been making it easy this year. Cold wet May turned into hot as hell June. It has also been dry which means I have to spend a lot of time watering stuff. There are a lot of tomatoes on those plants and I don't want to lose any.
The pumpkins need a daily hosing down as well. We've got lots of vine but no pumpkins yet-not even a flower.
The beans are climbing up onto the roof. No signs of beans or flowers yet either.
The squash have huge blossoms and tiny squash right now.
The Brussel sprouts are a bust. The bugs are eating them before they are big enough to pick.
We have a few melons on the vine.
There are also cucumbers hiding under the giant tangle of leaves. We planted the vine things too close together. That section of the garden is a real mess.
The figs on the fig trees are getting bigger every day and there are a lot of them. If we have half as many as we had last year it will be more than enough.
I don't have a picture of it but the kale is still producing like crazy. We could almost eat it everyday and we only put in four plants.
