Summer crops

This year the weather being crappy we have had a late start 

The first crop all got eaten or drowned from the downpours we had. But 

As you know. Never say die so we replanted and this time it’s going much better 

The lime tree got blocked somehow but I trimmed it back and now I’ve got baby limes 

The eggplants and beans planted in the wicking beds have put on a burst of growth 

The tomato really  love the wicking beds

And have taken off. We have flowers and tomatoes 

I think this is pumpkins. Hubby planted them so I’m not sure. But I guess we will know once it produces 

What ever it is. It’s growing quickly 

Can you see the babies in there. So cute 

And little zucchini.  I’ll have to check these every day. As you know. If you leave them just a few days too long they grow enormous 

The tamarillo is bursting with flowers and even has a little baby growing. 

The grape vines I grew from a cutting last year is doing really well 

The soil level has dropped so I’ll top it up with some lovely compost 

Even the bulbs we disturbed while weeding are starting to shoot. 

So lots happening in the garden right now 

The price of fresh veggies has gone up and is predicated to keep going up

As farmers are finding it hard to get workers due to covid 

So I really cannot afford to have any failures 

I’ll keep planting and harvesting, sharing the crop with my kids families 

I’ll also preserve to have during the winter 

Kinda like I did when my kids were little and I had to make ends meet 

Not only much cheaper. But way healthier 

And you know. I get to out and play in the soil. That’s always fun too 

Have you got any vegetables growing at your place?

See ya
