I thought I'd give you a peek at my garden, although I took these photos over a week ago, and with the heat we've been having, things have really matured fast, so it doesn't quite look like this anymore. :)
The tomatoes had just started ripening nicely:
Several weeks of dry weather followed by the big rain we got, though, caused a lot of them to crack, even while green:
They're ripening really fast now, and I've picked a lot of them.
Here are the whole plants, over 6 feet tall in their super-duper tomato cages. All the moisture we had in the early part of the summer, however, caused a rather big leaf spot problem, as you can see at the bottoms of the plants, and it's gotten considerably worse in the last week:
My cantaloupe/muskmelons have done well, considering I only have 2 plants. There are about a dozen of them out there. We've already started eating this one... it got huge, and it's yummy!
My one butternut squash plant has produced well, too:
I have tons of green bell peppers from my 4 plants. Two of them are supposed to produce red peppers. I've forgotten which ones are which, so I'll just have to wait and see! However, if I wait long enough, they'll all turn red, anyway.
With the wet spring we had, I think every carrot seed grew. I'll have an abundant crop there! The onions have bent over and started to dry down:
Here's something in the wildflower bed that I didn't plant!
It's a Rainbow! I usually find her out there in the mornings. She still hides out from the other cats a lot. :(
She's bigger than a muskmelon. :)
