...a tropical heat wave... the temperature's rising, it isn't surprising.... Okay, maybe not... but now the song is stuck in my head. Sorry if you now share my pain....
Tonight I went out into the garden to see if anything needed picking. 13.5 lbs. of Butternut Squash (with about half that still left to go) and two tomatoes. My 2nd to last Watermelon is going to be ready in a couple of days, as will my last Cantaloupe.
It's a good thing I got pictures when I did. The long stretch of unbearably hot weather and no rain has done a number on my garden... well, It's probably more of the pests than that but still.
Broccoli, Tomatoes, and Peppers really didn't do too well this year, but then again, I got them in late and them moved the plants a time or two so they wouldn't be mowed over.
I have some Cabbages that are starting to curl up into their cute little heads, but they are starting to have nightly visitors that think these cabbage leaves are supposed to look like doughnuts! Um, I don't think so, but at least it won't affect the way it tastes, and once it's cooked, no one will notice a thing anyhow.
Much Love & Hugs ~
Paige, just love your blog title, and your garden is amazing. I just love the ladder idea and think I will steal the idea for my garden next year. Now, to find a ladder....perhaps through Freecycle.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading more. Have a blessed weekend.
