We thought about going to Lake Superior last weekend — then the week turned hot hot hot — far too hot to leave kitties home alone for days. Not to worry, however, because the late flush of hot temps brought the garden back to life!
We thought about going this weekend too — but more of the same, 90s for days and all of a sudden there are cukes and squash and brinjal galore. I cannot complain 🙂
healthy young summer squash plants at this late date!?
korean squash ~ the gift that keeps on giving ~ there must be a dozen on now!
dear g dug all these beautiful potatoes this morning ~ I stuck a penny atop one to show the size ~ the largest was over a pound!
all fresh and clean and ready to cook!
most of the tomatoes are dying down ~ here are the San Marzanos ~ this late heat wave is good for ripening on the vine
the healthiest tomatoes we had all season were the rogue-volunteers!
african queen tomatoes at various stages of ripening
cherokee purple heart tomato, perfectly ripe ~ we ate this with miss m’s amazing basil salad dressing tonight!
the chard has taken off again
probably my fav ~ baby beets and gai lan (chinese broccoli)
I bought a small yellow mum to set near the doorstep but it sure doesn’t feel like autumn yet…
how does your garden grow?

Mine has sadly died down. Now to wait for next year! 🙂
I know, I am already taking stock of the seeds on hand and ordering my catalogues for cozy wintertime reading! 🙂
