So much hot hot heat this summer, thank goodness for little bits of rain! The garden still swelters and is mostly neglected because of it. It's gotten tall though! Here are some pictures of it's progress.
I have ears of corn this year! I planted "Sweet Gentleman" last year with no luck--the stalks were stumpy and dry and the little ears puffed up with fungus. I planted leftover seed this year and the stalk are green and tall, even though the seedlings got very pot-bound and I had to untangle all of their little roots from one another. I think the couple of weeks of rain hit at just the right time for these guys to thrive. The ears aren't as robust as you'd see at the store or anything, but still it's a pretty cool start.
We've gotten a number of really tasty Roma tomatoes this year. All of our tomato bushes are huge right now, but they aren't producing much fruit since it's gotten really hot.
Tomatoes, zinnias, and sunflowers.
Here's the side yard. Still waiting for some Moonflower blooms on that huge trellis. That's a thick clump of Lemongrass growing out of the zinnias in on the right.
Lots of tall Tarahumara White-Seeded sunflowers this year with many blooms. They attracted a fleet of bees, butterflys, and other bugs.
Bianca lurking through the cosmos.
I have a garden clean-up planned for this week. Stay tuned!
