The garden, such as it is, has gone into full swing with tomatoes.
Once upon a time, I kept a large garden to help feed my family. Now with the kids all grown I tend a small section and I have moved almost completely to container growing. Partially because the kids are gone but also I am too dang old to be weeding a large plot.
The cucumbers were a little slow coming in this year, well actually, I was a little slow getting them in however the hot July Summer takes care of everything.
The lettuce has been rather plentiful this year, although two days ago my remaining crop bolted, thus endeth the lettuce crop.
For the first time in forever, my Green Bell Peppers are doing great!
If you have read this far I have a special treat, a secret to share with you!
There on the left is my one and only zucchini that I harvested thus far this year. The funny thing about zucchinis is I either have so many that I choke on them or I get one. I think I am safe from choking on zucchinis this year.
So do you have a garden?
What is growing well for you this year?
Any disappointments?
Peace out and grow on!
Your vegetables really looks delicious and there is nothing better than eat things from the garden 😋 Tomatoes are a favorite.
I have some to in my Green house, but my favorite is the blueberries and they are growing crazy amount this year. Wish I had strawberries and other berries but that Will be next project.
That zucchini is really cool and big, didn't think of growing them.
Now I think I Will, they easy to grow?
Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week. Cheers 🤗🌷
Yes zucchini are very easy to grow and they have great yellow flowers, the problem that I run into is getting them to set in order to produce. Like I mentioned some years it is effortless and then others nothing sets.
I have enjoyed your posts showing the construction of the greenhouse.
I think we have very different growing seasons. Whereas I have two growing seasons, you probably get just one.
However, I imagine your summer season gives you a whole lot more Sun time.
We get sunrise around 6:45 AM sunset around 8:45 PM, around 14 hours of day light these days.
Just out of curiosity, what time does the Sun set and rise in the summer for you?
I think that happens to us all with the years. Some vegetables and plants sets good one year but another year it just won't work.
But I Will definitly try to grow me some zucchini and promise to share pics with you when I do 😉👍
Yes we have I season that we get alot of summer and sun, so that is the best time to grow things.
Some flowers I plant in spring tho like just before summer starts.
Here the sun rises now around 7:am and goes down around 7:pm
So I wish we had sun Light a little longer 😁
But in June it is sunrise around 6am and sunset around 7-8pm.
Its after midsummer here that the days become shorter.
My Vegetable garden is okay but the fruit shrubs; Blueberries and strawberries got a bit scorched in the late June heat wave so not much fruit this year. Minimal water restrictions so far. Chinese veggies are growing faster than I can eat them.

I glad you are getting some good veggies but sorry to hear about the berries. We have no water restrictions given the huge amount of rain we have had. I rarely have to water this year.
