August heat is in full swing, and the tomatoes are lovin' it! Both my brother and father who live nearby have said the hot summer has been a blessing to the growth of their tomatoes. My dad had to rig up some kind of crazy rope contraption to keep the plants from collaping into themselves and falling over. I saw it for myself, not quiet sure how my dad will get in there to harvest! The only lament I have is the peppers. Most of the bell peppers have fallen off on their own and have a small amount of rot on the bottoms. Some even turned red but have soft spots here mand there - only part of the peppers are edible. Not so sure I'm willing to grow bell peppers again...maybe I'll try something else - like more onions and some cucumbers.
My garden as of Aug 14th:
Walking past the cosmos - well above the fence now!
Lots of blossoms - so easy to care for.
Garden long shot - bustin!
Love those cosmos, neighbors sunflowers in the background
Heirloom tomatoes - Brandywine
Cosmo couple
Cosmos dwarf the van
Some green tomatoes taking their time
Onions slow to come up
Green salsa peppers- lots to harvest
Today's bounty
Another garden shot
And another
Sage and oregano out of control
Dill gone to seed, neighbor's zinnas in the background
Suflower on the corner of Osgood/Granite streets
Yesterday's Bradywine
Yesterday's harvest - taxis too!
