The Vegetable Garden - July 8, 2012


The vegetable garden is doing quite well considering that the weeds are trying to take over.  So far, I am winning the battle, but only time will tell who wins the war.  Another challenge this year is a huge lack of rain.  It is only the first week of July and I am already having to put the sprinklers on the garden ever night, hoping that it will be enough.  The final challenge that has reared it's head since I last posted is woolly aphids on the potatoes.  But I will do a separate post on these little critters.

Take a look at how things are growing!

Zucchini flowers and a baby zucchini!


There are lots of tomato flowers and every plant has little tomatoes!

Pepper flowers and a jalapeno pepper!  No sweet peppers yet, but they were later to start flowering.

Carrots and Onions.


Potato plants and potato flowers!  

Cucumber flowers, but no baby cucumbers yet.

Soon it will be fresh lettuce from the garden for salads!
