Wow, I have been horrible with the updates lately, haven't I? Life is busy and sometimes things like this get over looked more than I realize!
The vegetable garden is doing quite well despite the lack of rain and intense heat we've had lately. There are a couple zucchini that are ready to be used, one of which will be grilled as part of tonight's dinner. We have been enjoying salads made with fresh lettuce for a couple of weeks. And today, I see that there are some beets that are big enough to be used.
Unfortunately, the broccoli has had a run in with cabbage worms. I have been working hard to pick and squish as many of the worms that I can and have been spraying the plants with soapy water to deter the rest. I have my fingers crossed that I will still have broccoli, but we will have to wait and see.
And of course, as always, the weeds are thriving! But I have been doing a pretty good job of keeping ahead of them.
Here are some photos I took today.
Zucchini that will be grilled for dinner! :)
Cucumbers!
Tomato, slowly starting to ripen!
Lots and lots of little romas!
Broccoli has seen better days.
Red potatoes aren't liking this heat very much.
But the white ones are doing fine!
