WOAH you guys! The veggie garden is looking like a veggie garden or something. Too bad it is a month or more behind in growth and production. Here in lovely central texas, we hit triple digits with high humidity every summer and most veggie plants putz out. I am lucky that it has been cooler than norm. I may be able to wring a wee little harvest out of the patch, if I am lucky. This time two summers ago (at my last place of residence) I was pulling bowlfuls of tomatoes and a few peppers every day. So, it is hard not to be sad. But I (and my plants) keep plugging along.
Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes
One lone Fireworks Tomato, starting to ripen! You can see the top of the plant, where it just dies off. So this will probably be the only mater from this plant, unless there is a miracle.
Sweet little yellow pear tomatoes.
One lil jalapeno. The only pepper of any kind thus far, and no blossoms on any other plants currently.
The bounce back green beans!
Teeny baby red okra blossom bud.
All of the green okra have the same lil blossom buds.
Dare I to hope that this pretty little zucchini won't turn yellow, fall off, and break my heart?
Baby cuke!
Baby cuke! (This long fruit is growing on the plant that was sold with the label "Lemon Cucumber"- meaning it should be short and round. I am going to go out on a limb and say it was mislabeled. No cute round cukes for me this year!
