Week of June 7-13 in words

This week was fairly normal weather wise- a little hot but that's normal for early summer. Saturday we filled in some holes with a mix of soil, compost and peat moss. The plants should appreciate the extra padding during these warm days. 

-Tomatoes, ofcourse are going so strong. The tops are almost reaching the top of the vertical frame and each tomato looks like they are growing well with no holes.

-Lettuce is coming to the end of its season- but we've gotten four good harvests out of our 4 little plants- that was a lot of salads.

-Carrots tops are getting big- hope the roots are too!

-Yellow squash is moving right along and looking great- we're hopefully going to have a lot.

-Cantaloupe has blooms- hope the melons come soon.

-Corn is amazing, the tassel(the top flowering part) is coming out on one of the plants.

-White pumpkin is out of control-the vine has surpassed the top of the vertical frame and i guess we'll start training it across the top.

-And finally the gourd is growing right along despite being pushed aside by the monster pumpkin.

The week of May 31 - June 5 in words

Well- this week was a rainy one- but it didnt start that way. I watered and fed everything tuesday night and come wednesday we had a huge rain- i'm talking about pools in the back yard. We didnt even get a break to check on our swimming veggies until Friday! Most of my top soil i mixed has migrated to the end of the garden so i will need to put some new stuff out and all the plants just look droopy and tired of being soaked.

The brocolli continues to grow leaves but no heads- i think we missed the boat and it's going to get too hot.

Tomatoes are looking great- we had a little scare with some white fly but the rain washed them away and the plants are almost as tall as me.

Other vine plants of note are peas, cantaloupe, squash and last but not least the incredible white pumpkin (see picture). This plant just grows and grows and i cant wait to see the pumpkins that come from it.
