Not really a tongue twister in that order…;-)
The CG is LUSH. Our present heat wave is what we need to get the tomatoes to set! They and some of the squash have become vegetative monsters with our lovely warm days, but cool nights.
Actually, the bees have been busy in the squash, and there are some ‘Yellow Prolific’ and zucchinis near ready to pick. The gargantuan spaghetti squash plant has set small fruits along its rambling vines, which are now trying to overrun the bush ‘Delicata’ squash and ‘Margarita’ melon. I may be doing some severe pruning soon!
A big change 2 weeks after the last photo! Where's Aspen?
Tomatoes look to be trying to grow as tall as the corn!
Beets were all gathered and shared amongst ourselves this week, as the tops were looking tired and ready to flower. Amazingly, we’re still able to pick lettuce from the mesclun mix, though the bitterness factor is creeping in more.
Beets galore!
And, such a basil harvest from simple thinning and pruning. 4 pounds! So tasty when sauteed with diced garlic, dried tomatoes and salt, in olive oil, tossed with pasta. Directly seeded in the soil in late May, this is a much earlier harvest this year, compared to last, which was transplanted from seedlings.
Beautiful fragrant basil....
Purple bush beans are just reaching maturity, and last, but not least, the corn is tasseling!
