As you may notice I added a small fence, that barely stays up on its own. Next year I will do a better job of installing it. For now it does the job of keeping the pups and child out of my plants.
There have been a few other changes in the garden. The tomatoes are flowering like crazy. They have passed the second ring on the tomato cage and are stretching up towards the third ring.
I was surprised to find there are a few small tomatoes. This one is from the "Early Girl" variety that I had planted
and I hadn't realized it at first but it looks like I have a few Roma Tomatoes too!
I have been adding fresh parsley, cilantro and basil to many of our meals in the past couple of weeks. The cilantro is about twice as tall as the parsley and my basil looks a little sad since a bug had munched on some of its leaves. Not worrying about it yet... but hopefully it rebounds soon. I have dreams of pesto and brushetta in my future.
Any one else having fun tending their gardens? What are you growing this year? I would like to do more next year, and I am already thinking ahead!
wow, your tomatoes are so far ahead of mine!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for mine and of course the herbs are fabulous...oh the fresh salsa and salads....
I'm always thinking ahead to next year's! What little yard Amelia has may whittle away every year!
Your tomatoes are ahead of mine too. I have a few buds but that's about it. We have broccoli, Celebrity toms, Big Boy toms, Roma toms and a grape tom, jalepeno, bell pepper, banana pepper, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, cantelope, basil, chives... I think that's it.
