It has been a busy week in the garden. Even though the temps have been hovering around 90 this past week, my enthusiasm for growing vegetables both in the front AND the backyard has not wavered.
For some strange reason our romaine lettuce is still alive and kicking. We’ve had side salads practically every night and it’s been wonderful.
The cilantro plants are getting ready to go to seed. Have you collected cilantro seeds before? I think I might give it a go this year.
My best guestimate has us about 2 weeks away from homegrown tomatoes!!! BRING.IT.ON.
Pole beans reaching for the last bit of sunlight.
I don’t know what to say about our garden boxes anymore. I mean really, they were only planted 5-6 weeks ago and just look at them. Good soil makes all the difference I tell you. All the difference.
I am happy to announce the edging in the lower garden is finished! I have another 5 yards of Tagro on order for the end of this week and I’m looking forward to getting the beds built up. {I’m also looking forward to having the kids shovel and HAUL the Tagro up the hill}. 😉
I think we might be harvesting cocozelle squash by the end of the week. 🙂
Sadly, about half of our cabbage plants will have to be pulled up this week. As you probably already know, cabbage is a cold weather vegetable and does not thrive in the heat.
About 12 heads are going to seed. Which is a total bummer of course because I was planning on making a HUGE batch of sauerkraut this summer. Luckily, I still have plenty of cabbage seeds left though and will be starting a new batch for fall planting this week or next.
How is YOUR garden doing these days?
