Do you see my little watermelon starting to grow? I have about 3 growing but with all the vines in that garden everything is so confusing and I can't tell if I have anything else. I did find one very small pumpkin beginning to grow. Look at all these vines (below). I have honeydew, pumpkins, watermelons, and cantaloupe. Probably too many in the same bed but I didn't have anywhere else to put them. I had already planted the other garden area and didn't want to dig everything up and move it around. We'll see what happens!

This garden has corn (so fun to watch), jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, cucumbers (that the heat is killing) and strawberries.
Here is one of the green bell pepper plants. Last year I had 5 plants and couldn't keep up with all the peppers. This year I only have 2 and still have a bunch to use up.
Can you see the little jalapeno peppers? They are hard to see but I have 3 plants and have quite a few coming in. I've never grown these before so it's fun to see that I can grow something new!
I really enjoy having a garden but with the last couple of weeks I haven't really been enjoying it so much. Too much stress and this week has been over 100 degrees and miserable to be out there. This heat is so hard on the plants but they somehow manage to survive. I can't wait to get more out of my garden. I have a few tomatoes almost ready to pick and have already used 2 bell peppers!













Hi Melissa, Your garden looks great!!!! I was going to have a garden. We had it tilled up and everything, then, I was not feeling well and having major headaches and dizziness at that time, and I was just not up to it. Then, when I felt better, I wish I had done it.(LOL) Oh well, there is always next year. I got my produce from my daughter and the Farmers Market this year!! Love you all and try not to worry too much!! Everything will eventually work out. Let Go--Let God--Love you all, Kathy
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the pictures of your garden, such a beauty in Southern CA from a girl from Southern IL. Hope there will be some we can take care of in Sept. There is a squirrel that is getting very fat from my tomatoes this year..I plan to pick some green ones to make my grn. tomato casserole.
