Garden and Stuff

I finally remembered to take pictures of my garden. I'm only a week or so late posting them so what you are seeing has now almost doubled in size. The corn husk are beginning to form and I have a couple of cucumbers that have tripled in size and the tomatoes have finally gone from blooms to the real things.








The strawberries are sour, but hopefully they will sweeten up soon and get bigger then the dime size that they are now. I think I need to move them out of the full sun and let them have a little shade during the day. So I had seen these topsy tomato thingies and thought I would give them a try. I didn't get the shepard hooks until a little later in the season that I had planned, but I finally did and wanted to document their growth. It was about 2 weeks in the watering of them that the weight of them proved to be a little too much for the skinny little shepard hooks that I got on sale.


I did get herbs planted in early spring and this is what they look like. I found a web site that shows how to dehydrate them, so the plan this week is to try and do that with the parsley, since I have a train load of it. Next will be the chives and the pineapple sage.




I have harvest 2 zucchini's already and made 4 loaves of bread - since thats the only thing good that comes out of zuccnhini's. Michael asked me why I even planted them if I wasn't going to eat them. He doesn't get how good the bread is and I figure I'm getting my veggies in with the bread!!!



On a side note here is a picture of Summer and Desmond. I finally got a decent picture of them together. He takes such good care of her.
