The garden looks pretty good considering it’s July. Over the past week, 25 pounds were harvested mostly from the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Some of the tomato plants look much better this month than last. Below is a sample of what is on the counter ripening.
Here is another shot, showing some of the cucumbers and peppers:
Some garden photos follow. They were taken today and show remarkably healthy plants. This one shows the squash in the potato box. Growing around the box is the cucumber plant.
Another cucumber is shown below. I planted it next to the fence thinking it would want to climb. But it seems happy coiling over itself creating a very effective shade for the fruits.
Below is the first Crimson Sweet watermelon. I hope there are more.
Below is the first zucchini. These are way late and along with the other squash are being visited by the Squash Vine Borer wasp nearly daily. You can even see some of the solitary small eggs on the stem and leaves. I inject with a biologic control, Thuricide, and hope for the best. Some of the puncture marks from the needle can be seen as well.
