My Garden Overfloweth

I've been, thankfully, very busy lately. Hence the lack of updates.

The tomato plants are as tall as I am now. I waited entirely too long to get them into proper supports. The ideal ones are those big wire cones. I finally found them the other week at the garden center. I spent nearly an hour trying to wrestle the branches into the supports. Unfortunately, there were some broken limbs, but the plants looked to be fully recovered by the next day. Right now there are at least a dozen gigantic tomatoes hanging on the plants. They're all still green though.

The yellow squash is putting out veggies like nobody's business.

Zucchini bread anyone? soup? pudding?

Summer Harvests

These are the gifts my garden has brought me over the past few days. Looks like it is time to start giving some of these away to neighbor and friends!

And if you have been following the slug saga, it looks like I'm rid of them for the most part now that I am rid of the cabbage. I pulled out the last of it yesterday. I think that was wise. The plot is still really cramped, but getting rid of the first row of cabbage made a huge difference. I even found a couple big cucumbers hiding behind them and one giant yellow squash.
