July 16, 2012 Harvest

We finally got some rain last night and a cool lightning show last night! The rain gave a good soaking to my garden. This morning I picked two small cucumbers because they were close to being ready but covered in dirt splashed up by rain. I figure it would be better to pick them and clean them now instead of leaving them coveted in dirt. One of my yellow peppers also fell off the plant and had some holes in it so I placed that in the compost bin. Good news though eggplants are growing! I have a female bud on my pumpkin vine! The bean plants are starting to grow! And more zucchini on the way!

Cucumber harvest July 14, 2012

Got the second cucumber of the season today and more are on their way!! I also noticed the bean plants are getting bigger. I restaked many of my tomato plants with 3 foot bamboo stakes, I have a ton of green tomatoes but waiting for some red ones!

Cherry Tomatoes!

Today's harvest is small but it's the first of the season for my Husky Red Cherry tomato bush, which has gotten really big! I picked a few cherry tomatoes early because I lost the first ripe one to an animal, a squirrel or something, maybe my sister! Lol! Although nothing else is ready for harvest, another cucumber will be ready tomorrow! Followed by a few next week! I also noticed the garden bean seeds I planted last week are starting to emerge from the ground, hopefully supplying a decent amount of beans by August!
