So, I haven't posted anything in a few weeks, mainly because the garden seemed to be an overall "fail". Plenty of green leaves and no veggies. However lately things seem to be taking a great big turn for the better. Every other day we are harvesting a handful or two of purple bush beans (the kentucky wonder pole beans just are not producing for me. I've never had a problem with them before!) We've had one yellow squash but now we have several growing and looking good. I have three tomatoes growing on one plant and we've harvested all of about 7, but it's like they've decided to grow *now*. I have actual melons growing though I don't know if they are the moon and stars watermelons or the sakura sweet melons. I guess I'll find out when they get bigger. I have no idea if there are any potatoes under all the green leaves. Oh yes and the jalapenos are starting to produce nicely.
The corn was an absolute fail. I pulled up all the pumpkin and watermelon that was growing in the boys' garden as they were just turning brown and not producing anything. I planted peas and they are starting to come up now. I pulled up some of the sunflowers and planted radishes and pulled up the spent edamame plants and planted Japanese mustard.
If you look closely there are to bees inside this eggplant blossom.
Royal burgundy bush beans. They turn green when cooked.
