The garden is absolutely beautiful right now. Some of the best work I have ever done.Aside from the beetle attacks which seemed to come in waves (squash beetle, potato beetle, & now Japanese beetle), everything is growing astronomically and are now putting out flowers and fruits. Zucchini are raging and the peas and beans are forming pods.
All of the squash and melons are producing those beautiful golden sherbet colored blooms.
The carrots are so perfect & delicious and a wave of beets is ready for pulling.
The calalloo needs harvesting t thin the patch and the herbs & greens need biweekly cutting.
The aster family are booming in 4-5 different colors: pink echinacea, yellow black eyed susans, and a crazy brown/orange/purple molted variety of coneflower.
Black hollyhocks are my favorite.
Lavender, yarrow, daisies, & day lilies; all great for cutting.
Word all over town is I'm the best gardener they've ever had here.
Hee-yah!
