Oh, hi there!
You all have Chuck to thank for commenting, because he’s the one who prompted me to post updated photos of the garden. I tried to match the old shots, but in a couple of cases, it just couldn’t be done. And I also added two new ones of stuff that wasn’t there last time. So, without further delay…
First up, the four boxes then:
The four boxes on July 5th:
That huge tomato plant on the left is called Juliet. Do NOT mess with her.
Trellises and long box then:
Trellises on July 5th: (I know that it looks like the sugar snap peas are the same height. This is our second crop of them. Note that we had to add extra fencing up at the top because the damn things are so tall. Not that I’m complaining. Some gardening, however, is clearly not meant for short people.)
And this is the long box: (Cauliflower, zucchini and cucumbers)
Our zucchini can beat up your zucchini. Maybe.
The patio trellises then:
And the patio trellises on July 5th: (That shrub to the left of the boxes is Cosmos. I’m shocked that it grew like it did, but I like it. One more natural barrier!)
No blooms yet for the Morning Glorys or Moonflowers
Last but not least, the start of our watermelon:
Someone really needs to weed...
And finally, the annuals I planted:
Because every girl (and garden) needs some pretty.
So, that’s the latest. We have a ton of grape tomatoes on Juliet. Unfortunately, today we also discovered a couple of Tomato Hornworms. If you’ve never seen one, I double dog–nay, I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to look it up on The Google. You have to pull them off (and yes, they fight it) and squish them. Even The Boyfriend squealed like a girly girl. (That part was actually pretty fucking funny.)
Maybe sometime this year, I’ll post vacation photos for Mel!
Holy Toledo! Thats quite a farm you got growing there! Next there will be a cow and a goat! But dont step on the chickens!
Your garden looks great! Maybe I should post some updated photos of mine. I’m not there right now so I hope I remember!
Holy good job, girl!! Did you use special soil?
My tomato plant is dying and I refuse to check for critters after reading this.
