July 4th Garden Update



This posting is a little delayed, but here are some pictures of the garden over the past July 4th weekend.

The sunflowers are getting really tall and big flower buds are forming quickly. Looking forward to seeing them in bloom!



The bean plants are starting to really climb up the trellises we erected a couple of months ago. Hopefully they will climb all the way across and make the green arches we envisioned.






The zucchini and squash plants are sprawling and already are producing not only a lot of blossoms but squash too. If you are tending the garden look for some to pick for dinner. There's some basil plants tucked in under the squash plants that are doing surprisingly well. Look for them and pick some leaves to take home. It will help keep them producing.



The cherry tomato plants are going to town! Lots of green ones for now . . .
These droopy plants are a couple of eggplants that I tried to move a little from under the cherry tomatoes. Hope they make it!
Our composter and water barrel. There is a hose attached to the water barrel now. Just be warned that the water flow is very slow and a bit of a trickle. If you are in a hurry to water - bring a watering can or container.


Don't forget to compost garden scraps, trimmings and weeds that haven't yet gone to seed!

Thanks for checking out the blog and please contact me to add your own pictures and garden news/stories. - Noreen
