Slacker


I have been slacking on the updates.  Oops :)

I have a new pal. She made a nest next to my house and likes to pick bugs right after I water. I also have a toad in the garden, eating all my slugs. He is a good toad.

These are the pole beans in June. They are extremely prolific producers. I hace more beans then I know what to do with. Been freezing some.


Swiss chard in June.

And last night












Cayenne peppers


Red Cabbages

Collard greens. Also a prolific producer. Can basically take as many leaves as wanted and it keeps growing.




Golden Peach tomato



That is basically how it looks right now. Plant health has been pretty good. One heirloom tomato(ol mr stripey) and a zuchinni plant have died. The zuchinni was producing a lot then ended up with some sort of apparent rot.  I thought it was a borer worm at first but it wasn't. Watermelons and cucumbers have small fruits on them.  Tomatos are starting to ripen. Eggplant has flowered but no fruit yet.  Cabbages need to be picked and I need to start clearing out the old broccoli plants to make room for fall crops. I will be planting more carrots, radishes, bok choy, mustard greens, kale, daikon radish spinach and lettuce.  I need a bigger garden.
