It’s amazing how quickly plants grow in optimal conditions.
Here are the tomatoes today:
They have overtaken their cages. Bird net is eminent since our bird friends are checking out the plants. The Gs are fine with the birds looking, but not visiting the beds.
Everything is looking pretty awesome. Fingers crossed for the zucchini:
I am hoping that the squash borer of last year was only last year’s pest! Fingers crossed that the metal stock tank high above the ground keeps the zucchini going and that the yellow squash that is somewhere under the tomato forest is immune to pests.
The watermelon has doubled!
I took a photo of baby bells but we have an impressive habanero forming also. A photo for another day.
I’m amazed that the peas are growing so fast.
So far this week we’ve had snow pea salad, chard salad, stir fried bok choi (on the bitter side so it’s on it’s way out), salads galore.
I’m thinking we are not going to be buying many veggies for the next little while. There will be salads. There will be peas. There will be beets. And soon beans. Anyone got okra recipes to share?
Besides enjoying the growth in the garden, I grew too. We had a fantastic presentation training course today. The main message, of course, was simplicity. But it was also this, a quote I have loved for a good chunk of this year:
You have zucchini blossoms! I love zucchini blossoms. Your garden is absolutely mind-blowing! I am SO impressed!

Thank you! I am amazed too. I think they are in the right location (full sun), good mix of soil and compost, enough water, plus organic fertilizer at the right time (after flowering). Fingers crossed for a bumper crop!
