The Garden As of Early August 2021


Too much rain is what's going on this summer. So, while things are green, things that should be blooming and giving us vegetables are slow about it. We need the sun! We will get it this week and hopefully there will be a yield this year. Here are the five beds. In the foreground: zinnias and (soon) runner beans, which are taking their sweet time growing up those sticks and blooming. The small, tall box immediately behind it has nothing in it, having just been made from cedar recently. Behind that, three beds of vegetables. 

I'm rather fond of my stick work here. There are more flower seeds planted in the lower left, that bare patch, but I don't know if they'll be coming up unless the sun shines this week.

Peppers and, behind them, cucumbers, which are just getting started. They were planted after I took out the lettuce, so they are late.

The tomatoes need more sun. Scraggly and bushy. Ugh. 

 

Three tomatoes so far. 


The squash needs weeding. The plants are OK, but have only produced maybe 3-4 squash out of the whole bed. Not good.

 

And now, some flowers ....
