I just don't know where to start.
The blueberries are almost done, we've gotten a number of overflowing handfuls of beautiful, flavorful berries this year. That's even with my youngest daughter grabbing the unripe ones before they all started to ripen.
My tomatoes are going strong. We have many green tomatoes growing and sizing up. We ran out of tomato cages this Spring so only about a third are caged up, the others are kinda growing naturally-- which i know is going to turn into a big mess, lol. I know they can be staked, but that takes pruning and its way too late for that. Besides, after all my reading i still don't get how to stake and prune tomatoes.
Out weeding and my daughter pulled up my Kai Lan Queen kales. I guess its ok. We haven't more than snacked from them. If i grow them again i'll do a whole row, they don't seem to produce enough tips for a meal all at once if you only plant 3.
Three days ago she picked our first Golden Zebra summer squash. It was a little small (5 inches or less) but it was crisp and flavorful. I'll plant it again. More are on the way.
Funny thing happened to one of my beach plums and one of my cherry plants. The main stem seems to have died, all the leaves crumbled and dried, but both are resprouting at the roots. They are on opposite ends of the yard and looked like they got hit with Round-up or something. Butthey are coming back strong anyway.
The green beans are flowering right now, looks like a good potential crop.
The weather has finally cooled down, we'd been dry and hot for the last 2 weeks the lawn is going brown in places which has my hubby all annoyed.
Well thats it for now. I'm still working on getting my phone working for posting, hopefully i'll get some pics up with it soon!
