Veggie Garden

I have really neglected my veggie garden this year, I spent so much of the late spring and early summer working on getting my studio organized and workable. The poor veggies are competing with grass for space.

This is a early morning photo from my bedroom window, you can see the swimming pool supports waiting for us to erect around a body of crystal clear water (I'm waiting!)
I took this photo early to show how big my pumpkin flowers are, by the middle of the day they close up, shying away from the heat.

The peas have been sparse and disappointing, I bought the cheap seeds and never will I do that again. Notice the trampoline, grrr...I'm losing more yard everyday.

Some of my flowers have done well in the 1 foot by length of the garden front. The blazing star have bloomed and my new day lilies have buds on them at this point. Time will show if they flower or not.

"Hello, Mr. Sunshine."

My lettuce has done o.k. but it is on the edge of the corn, which I don't really weed.

Beans are m-a-r-v-o-l-o-u-s!

My tomatoes are giving fruit but they look so scrawny, more tuft of grass are growing at their base.

And what about my corn? Well, as I said, I don't weed between the rows, I feel my bending does more damage to the stalks than what it is worth.

Did you ever see so much grass, it's more that what is on our yard and we are baffled as to where it came from. One sorrow plant and one clover was all I saw after 4 hours in the garden, but plenty of grass.

My summer squash is coming along.

So are the potatoes in the tires at the back of the garden. We had a few red potatoes left over so they made it to the top buckets, kind of late but there just the same.

Sooo, instead of watching me, can't you weed? C&G Design
