Cucumbers!!!

Boy, do I need some dill....

Nasturtium amidst sweet potato leaves

Sunflowers in the garden!

They really stand out, looking down from above where just one garden has a bright splash of yellow.

Home-made tomato soup

From 6 Brandywine tomatoes. THIS is real tomato soup!!!!

Quiche -- crustless, bacon, onion & tomato

Pickles! Radishes & cucumbers :)

Vine peach

As of today, there are about 3 big vine peaches & several more little ones just starting -- hoping they survive the squash bugs & all that badness!!

July 25, 2013

Harvested 2nd bunch of cherry tomatoes
1st bigger tomato, have to dig under the plant for the type marker

Planted two little basil seedlings that haven't been very excited about the low sun & water on our front stoop. Our first batch of pesto was superb, so why not plant materials for more?

Planted (seeds):
He-Shi-Ko pencil onions, plot 32, in old onion area
Bunching onions, plot 32 front of strawberries
Bunching onions, plot 3 back right by squash
Kale, plot 3 at end of chard & seedling rows, near sweet potato

We are constantly going through onions, wishing I could make them grow faster! May have to look for late onion sets since onions are not impressive from seed.
