Garden: Things are Growing

I thought that I would have more time for weeding since I'm not travelling for my day job much these days... I haven't.



But I don't feel manic about getting it finished on the weekends.  It's actually been a couple of weeks since I've weeded.  ;-)


The rains came a couple of weeks ago, but we haven't had much since.  So I think my spaghetti squash got too dry this week.

It's looking pretty rough right now, but it is loaded with fruit.

A whole lot of other plants have fruit on them now too...


Watermelon

Honeydew Melon

Cucumber

Zucchini

My okra and rutabagas have sprouted (finally) and my tomato plants are fully loaded.

The CD's I put up in the fruit trees seem to be working.  Crossing my fingers for plums, soon.  :-)

I picked a few things this morning.  I think these will go nicely with the other things we found at the farmer's market this morning. :-)

    Deaspite not having too much rain, your garden is flourishing beautifully. So much wonderful produce there.

    That looks like the beginnings of great salad. :)

    What type of mulch is that under the cucumbers? It looks like a nut.

    It's hot here too. Don't worry so much about the weeding, if you don't take a photo we won't know you didn't do it.
    Enjoyed reading your posts.
    Love Alpacas, want to learn more about them.

    LOL. Good point Ory.

    The "mulch" is actually alpaca manure. We call them beans. ;-)
