Current view of (almost) the entire garden.
The yellow squash has been heavily producing for quite a while. I couldn’t be more pleased and in all honesty a tad sick of it.
Some green chili plants in the backyard garden that we planted pretty late in the season. We still haven’t harvested yet!
Insanely large summer squash. Yellow and zucchini are intermingled some.
“Calvin” in the vegetable bed. He’s tucked in amidst okra, green beans, tomatoes, jalapeños and green chili plants. He’s a cute barn cat but he’s been trying to do his business in the garden beds… yuck. The hose helps keep him at bay.
Tomatoes have to be one of my favorite things to grow. There is nothing better than one fresh off the vine. They’re a bit beat up from flea beetle damage, heat and what may be blight but still producing well.
This is the first year we planted pumpkins in our backyard garden. I planted late but we still have a few on the vine that’ll be ready just in time for Fall. I’m pretty sure this one is a zucchini/pumpkin cross but I’m ok with that! The other two are still babies (about the size of a baseball).
Above is our misfit apple tree. That in itself is a whole story. Coming soon.
This one hill of Bush cucumbers (bottom left of this image) has done great as well. It’s left me wondering what in the world will I do with them all. What do you do with your excess cucumbers? I also planted some other ones later (a climbing variety) and they’re trellising and starting to flower. (right middle of image below)
What’s going on in your garden right now?
