... the cucumbers are reaching toward the trellis ...
... there are flowers on the cherry tomatoes ...
... small green peppers emerging ...
... and healthy dill ready to harvest.
We have already used some dill and thyme in a couple of our recipes. Yes, I know I have probably over-planted in my small space. I'm hoping some "crops" will peak before others need space. This is a new experience for me and I am enjoying the trip!
I tend to over plant my space also but this year I didn't - I just didn't much feel like gardening this year but I do have a bit in pots on the deck closer to the house - I'm seriously thinking of having the raised beds further from the house devoted to flowers and herbs and have all my mints on the porch and maybe next year do a tomato plant or two in pots
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking great, Libby! We planted a small raised bed garden (new to us) this year, too, and things are growing! All of a sudden, though, the tomatoes have something called "leaf curl." Have you heard of that? According to Google, it doesn't seem to cause problems for the tomatoes, but I'm still wondering what I can do about it. May have to go ask at the local garden shop!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor. And next time, you need some zucchini... Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking great! Ours (8 beds that are 4x8’ and one 4x4’) are going crazy. We are getting and sharing lots of rhubarb and spinach. The lettuce is going gangbusters, too, and we thin it by pulling out the smaller bunches. YUM!! Our dill is very tall, too, but DH insists we wait until it dries (he used to work on a farm and that’s how they did it there). I’d rather be picking some now!
ReplyDeleteWow, what super growth, Libby. Harvest time will be so much fun!
