Steamed Veggies

We finally staggered out into the heat to water the garden today. It had only been a couple days, and we've had longer gaps before, but because of the very high heat (I assume), things were a little droopy.

But it doesn't seem to be hurting productivity too much. One of our eggplants has four growing now!

Our zinnias are all grown up (we planted them from seed), and a few are even blooming.

And the beanstalks have grown way beyond the stakes...

Will check in again soon...

We have so mulch to catch up on!

Hi! Finally getting things going this year! Here are some pole beans. I planted around one pole each week, from left to right, so they decrease in height as you look across...

The okra grew really fast and we have four plants this year so we should get a lot of pods.

The first eggplant! Just one.

And some tomatoes on the way....

We've planted a bunch of flowers from seed. I have high hopes for this little patch of ground...

That's all. Updates next week! Happy 4th!
