Graden: Week 18
Well, the garden is struggling. Between the heat and the squirrels they seem to be getting the best of the garden. Here are a few high-lights and low-lights.
The tomatoes are gangly and rather pathetic.
Here's evidence of both the squirrels and the sun at work on a bell pepper.
The squash suddenly and mysteriously died.
There are still some beautiful bell peppers.
And jalapenos.
And tomatoes.
I finally pulled the cilantro out. The ladybugs had long since disappeared and the usable part of the cilantro had been used. So I planted pumpkin seeds in their place. I have three baby plants looking happy and green so far.
All the herbs have gone to see, but I keep using them. And I actually love their little flowers.
Oregano with a friendly bee. He's probably not a friendly bee at all. Maybe he is, more accurately, a happy bee.
Parsley.
Basil. With our beautiful lawn in the background.
It's been over 100 degrees for the past few weeks....and for the foreseeable future. But Andrew and I still put on our gardening hats and water every morning. I guess we've given up running for now.
How does your garden grow?
