2014 garden, week 16
This is backdated cuz I'm lazy.
Not much new. Sage is insane, basil has attracted a lot of black bees. They must really like basil flowers because they were here last year, too. I have maybe a dozen green onions.
The tomato plants are still producing. I have actually found a couple of new fruits on the left one as well as new flowers. The right one is still full of fruit. The leaves are beginning to turn as the temps hit the mid 90's but it doesn't seem to bother the fruit. The carrots are about 3" long right now. I pull some when I notice them crowding each other.
I am still getting beans but not in the quantity that I got before. But they are spreading and taking over the area that the lettuce occupied. And there are LOTS of flowers. An interesting thing to note is that some of the pods seem to be drying themselves on the fine. They aren't as long as the ones I eat but are all shriveled up before I pick them. I am gathering the seeds and keeping them for later.
I'll get week 17 up in the morning.
