Veggie Garden, Second Shot


The recent days of hot, bright sunlight have been good to our struggling veggie garden. In fact, yesterday I harvested another tomato and our first radishes.

And the pumpkin vines in the back yard are finally going crazy with little runners sprouting everywhere. Will we have jack-o-lanterns from our yard???


August 7th.


August 18th.

See the difference in the photos from August 7th and the one from yesterday?!

And the sunflowers are also gaining height. I just hope there is enough time for them to blossom into mammoth yellow sunflowers!!

your garden looks great! maybe next time you come over you can bring a veggie salad straight from your garden. i wish we'd planted a garden but with all our travels this summer we just didn't get around to it. next year.

Linda Lou - I know EXACTLY what you mean about missing grass in Sonora. I was always on the look-out for a little patch of green for Sitka to roll around in. Our grass has lots of weeds, but it is still green!

Teresa - I don't know about a salad, but maybe pumpkins and sunflower seeds if we're lucky!

Looks like you're having lots of fun! Glad to know you are well and enjoying the summer harvest.
We have cucumbers, tomato's green peppers and a few squash. Talk to you soon.
