How Does your Garden Grow This Month?

 

From the beginning of the month until the end, this is how our garden grows.

We can never get enough sunsugar tomatoes.  They are the sweetest little cherry tomato.  A little snack while weeding.

One of Murph's favorites!

Seems like all the peppers are progressing ever so slowly.

Some Swiss chard mixed in with the red cardinal vine.

Second crop of potatoes going in.

Our tomatoes this year haven't done so well.  Scratching our heads on that one.

But our cucumbers have outdone themselves.  We are on the third planting!








blackberries



This one has a little dimple.

My very capable garden helper.



The patch of the unknown.


I've been doing a little weeding.


It looks so pretty, but I'm really not a fan.








Another mystery vine.

Wish there were more.

The morning walk around results.

We are eating our share of cucumber and onions, that's for sure.

I see a little bit of red.  Why does it take so long?



Could this be a tomato tree?


Bean blossoms!

A new little fancy gourd.


This is a little bit of scaring.  Doesn't hurt the cucumber.  It's telling me it is time for me to pick it.

Blossoms are getting bigger.


I'm b not sure, but I think this might be a big white pumpkin vine.  We shall see.

I found a second fancy gourd.

I would love for this to be a pumpkin!

bush beans



Well hello sunshine!

Ms. Carolyn gave me this mailbox for the garden.

I use them to store gardening things, so I don't have to run all over the yard looking for them.

Look at all those blossoms.  I wonder how many female ones there are.
