Gardening Update 7/19/07

I am so stoked about how well my gardens are doing! Despite the horid HOT, HOT, HOT (Did I say "HOT"?) temps, they are flourishing. It's been a lot of work watering them every day, but it makes me happy to see blooming color on my side of the porch and in the yard.




This is what my little corner of the world looked like at the beginning of June:






This is what it looks like now.

I have loads of tomatoes on all three plants. I am taking the advice of someone who left a comment on my blog. I have been pinching off the sucker branches once the flowers start blooming. The plants won't be as bushy as they were last year, but hopefully this will allow the sun to get to the green tomatoes and "help" them turn red.


I even have itsy-bitsy cucumbers on my potted cucumber plant! I can't wait to have fresh cukes off the vine. Mmmmm... Yum!!
