I've reached that point later in the season when I just done have time, energy or motivation to even think about the garden, so it has gotten ignored. I muster up the strength to get out there about once a week to harvest. Luckily the sprinkler system is in place, so I can water with the press of a button on the way out in the morning.
Cherry tomatoes are out of control, climbing up the Blue Spruce.
Red tomatoes! Yum! Don't look too close or you might see that they have been on the vine too long!
East bed. Cucumbers must have run out of nitrogen. They are yellowing quickly. I should fertilize, but that might take a lot of effort. Ugh!
Our watermelon is like The Little Engine That Could. We've been rooting it along, so proud of how it did. All in all, its still pretty small, but I can't bear picking it and seeing what is inside yet. I have hopes that it is going to take off and grow up to be a big watermelon someday.
We only ended up with 3 big pumpkins this year. I was hoping for more, but such is life. I have no idea what the heck I'm doing when it comes to pumpkin. I'm pleased.
Kale. It looks like I know what I'm doing when it comes to growing kale. Now if I only knew what to do with it once it is harvested. Guess what everyone? More kale chips!
