Before & After

We should get a bumper crop of cucumbers (huge lush plants on the right) based on all the little ones I can see already...we have slicers and picklers. The baby doll watermelons...not too sure if we'll get any(grey plants front left). Hard to tell on the Hales Best muskmelons...(back left) I cant get back there to see but we had and still have tons of flowers! So much for my handy pathway...We will have to re-think the green hut in the spring...maybe have it so the back window could lift open so I can check on things without having to climb through... ahhh..trowel and error!

Walla Walla sweet onions...
these toppled over on Friday so I pulled them and laid them out yesterday to cure in the sun for about a week. There are still some onions scatteresd here and there that aren't ready yet but I think I'll plant a few more sets to see if I can squeeze out one more end of season harvest.

In the Garden...

Everything is growing by leaps and bounds in the garden. I have harvested peas, carrots, beets, zucchini, patty pan and crook neck squash and strawberries.

David helped me set up a soaker hose watering system before he left for camp. What a great guy! That waters up to two beds at a time effectively. I can't wait till he gets home with the camera so I can upload some new photos. We also made a garden arbor out of branches from a big tree we trimmed recently...Lot's going on 'round here.

I have a day off tomorrow so I am planning a Green Bluff trip to pick strawberries with Tish and the kids. Mmmm... jam, strawberry shortcake, strawberries and vanilla cream....life is good.
