We finally had a "little rain" a few days ago. It amounted to about 1/4". The ground was wetted, but that's about it. The extreme dry continues. Our watering continues. Due to the hose, ...so far, the garden is still thriving.
Many plants are actually on the verge of "produce"! The sunflowers are awakening, and that is always a sign of mid summer here...
We've been picking summer squash, and it's still great! By the end of the season we've been known to start to tire of it and will run out of people to gift all of the extra squash to! You can only make so much zucchini bread!
Here are some of the other growing things in the garden that are on the verge of ripeness:
 |
some onion thinnings, the first carrot, and some more squash
|
 |
beans are in full blossom and some beans are arriving! We will be picking soon.
|
 |
| Our first carrot! |
 |
| early girl tomato...just about ready. |
 |
| this is a "carrot pepper"... new to us. It's supposed to be sweet. |
 |
| Poblano pepper. We love them! Sometimes have a "little" heat, but the flavor is great! |
