Although we are still getting veggies out of the garden, it just really didn't seem to be a great growing season overall. Tonight I picked some Fourth of July Tomatoes and my first Jalapenos! The Fourth of July Tomatoes seem to be the only tomatoes doing very well this year. This is fine because they're close to the size of a baseball so they're pretty good for sandwiches or snacks.
The weeds have fully taken over the garden now and I'm just letting them go. I've worked very hard to keep them out and it hasn't seemed to matter, so at the end of this season, we'll take down the fence, mow and let it go over the winter. It seems for the past few years the tomatoes have caught a touch of blight, the corn has been tasseling very quickly and not producing and we can't grow peppers or any of the more delicate veggies. Time to start over.
We did get a cantaloupe this evening and cut it. It didn't really have any flavor, but it sure looked good!
Tonight's harvest: 2 cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapenos!
