Soooo hot
Here’s a a bit of my day.
You think in a place like Wisconsin the summers would be cooler, but with little more than a couple fans to blow around the hot air it doesn’t feel that way. It’s too hot to write, and I have to force myself outside just to keep the veggies in the garden watered. I think I planted the peas too late this year, its July and still no sugar snap pods, but the green baby cherry toms are looking good.
Beans in raised beds on either side of trellis.
There’s two bunches of cherry toms you can see if you look close. I can’t really eat tomatoes, but my youngest gobbles them up like candy.
I ...also have a few things in my raised garden I’ve never planted in the raised bed fashion.
Here the zucchini. The flowers have already fallen (first ones at least, many more little ones hidden there) so I hope for fruit signs soon.
The yellow squash has something growing with it that I can’t yet identify, but out of curiosity, I’m not getting rid of it until I know what it is. You can also see the same plant in the pea picture.
Here’s my cucumbers. What you can’t see from the pic is the ladder placed above them to grow up once they are big enough.
I love my cute little eggplant. Not much action there yet, but I’m patient (most of the time)
They all look pretty good. I used plenty of worm castings mixed in the organic soil I got from Growing Power when I set the beds up. I’ll have more beds next year. The trouble isn’t building them, that’s easy. I LOVE building things. The trouble is affording the wood and the soil to put in them.
Okay, I promise more interesting topics soon, once my brain works again. This heat has zapped my creativity.
