Growing

We had a slow start to the growing season with torrential rains and cool temps this spring followed by a few sweltering dry weeks to welcome summer, but things are finally starting to perk up and grow!

I'm already getting some sungold cherry tomatoes, a few squash (zucchini and zephyrs), peppers, and plenty of herbs. I've also dug the potatoes and have all the onions and garlic drying in the garage. Had a decent first year blueberry harvest (even though you're supposed to pinch off the first year's flowers - oops!)

Here are a few pics from the past few weeks of growing at the house.....

squash in the front yard a few weeks ago

squash again (also notice the nectarine tree that replaced the dead apple tree)

zephyrs are becoming my favorite summer squash

volunteer pumpkin plant in the back and the largest marigold I've ever seen - the pumpkin might have to go if it starts taking over my blueberries......
