Rats, it is 1st day after Summer Solstice and days are getting shorter! I am not a great fan of Summer Solstice, no sir!
Not much new in veggie garden:
Eggplant Greta formed fruits and they are ivory white.
Yellow Bush Beans are full of flowers so I should have some beans in couple of weeks.
My Hardneck Garlic scapes formed full piggy tail and so I will cut them by the weekend. I just love how long they store.
Unfortunately I have neglected my salad greens patch and they have happily bolted and are in full flower. I’ll give them a good haircut tomorrow if it doesn’t rain.
Last winter I started seeds for Marjo’s Turban Squash. Today I counted 8 flowers, some forming fruit already. It is her favorite squash and one that she painted so beautifully. Have a look and tell me if it is not super realistic botanical watercolor painting. Just click here and scroll down (4th from bottom).
Cucumber is new plant to grow for me and since my seedlings failed I bought some. I have no idea what they will look or taste like but it is good experiment for me to grow cucumbers in container and on trellis.
Tomorrow I will update on containers and flower beds.
