If you live in the Northeast, you'll agree this was a crazy summer of high heat and lots of rain! If it wasn't a heat wave, it was raining. Sometimes, we had both! Apparently, this was great for my garden and the daily harvest is still so much that I have to share. In fact, sometimes I think my neighbors are tired of me begging them to help me eat all the tomatoes. That said, here's an August update in pictures. Enjoy!
 |
| Six heirloom tomato plants gone wild! I've picked over 100 tomatoes already! |
 |
| Cherry Tomatoes almost ready |
 |
The cucumber outgrew it's trellis so I spread the tomato trellis around the back.
It came all the way down the other side to make a tent perfectr for a kid. |

| Cucumbers hiding under the trellis |
 |
| The Jack-be-Littles aren't so little anymore! The plant has wound around the house! |
 |
There's at least a dozen of these tiny pumpkins hidden through the two plants.
Can't wait for them to turn orange! |
 |
The 3 zucchini plants have been the under-producers this year. I've only picked 4 zucchini so far.
This time last year I had at least 2 dozen! |
 |
| We can't forget the flowers. Here's the mandevilla I added to the deck this year. |
 |
| The roses are also gorgeous again! |
 |
| After the camera was put down, I found six huge cucumbers waiting to be picked! |
In a few weeks, the cucumber vines should be withered and I'll be ready to plant my fall lettuces and other cold-weather crops. It's been a great season already!
Oh my goodness! What good pictures. You've got some mad photography skills too, my friend!
