Vegetable Garden

This week we finished planting the garden. We purchased tomato cages and only planted 12 of them. That still should be plenty. We also put up a new stake for the cucumbers. Last years worked fine but fell apart.

Along with 4 zuchini, 12 peppers, 12 tomatoes, 4 cucs, we also planted, 12 beans, 2 cantaloupe. We sprinkled insect killer around the beans and planted onions surrounding them. So far the bugs and the rabbits have left them alone. Perhaps neither one like onions.

We had cucs, tomatoes, cantaloups left over and gave them to the Gray family.

Vegetables

Well, we had a bumper crop of zucchini and we are still harvesting. We've cooked, baked, sauteed and given it away. The cucumbers have really produced as well. We should get a few more there. The peppers are only now starting to produce. We finally got the pesky rabbits to leave the beans alone, but we haven't harvested anything yet. We've had three or four cherry tomatoes each night but nothing big so far. It's not been a good crop, but I'm hoping that by the end of September we will still get more tomatoes. There are two cantaloupes growing and I'm hoping to see those as well. We harvested several onions so they have been a success. Next year I'm going to do something a little different with those and put them on pots in the cart on the deck. The basil is over grown and we need to bring it in and try to dry it.
