August update

August 12, 2014

As fall approaches, the garden is certainly abundant!  Keeping ahead of the weeds has proven challenging.  While this has been a fantastic year for growing veggies (adequate rain, moderate temperatures, few hungry creatures, etc.), it also means that the weeds are just as vigorous!


If you look in the corner of the garden you can see my neighbors gourds taking over the fence--they are actually climbing the tree in his back yard as well!


 While I don't really need the gourds, you can also see some of the acorn squash that have really taken off this year!

I also like the cute little lizard that likes to live next to the barn.  It has been some time since I have seen any of them in my back yard.

The eggplants and other potted plants on the picnic table continue to produce an abundant crop, and the Oca (located under the picnic table on the right side) seems to like the location.  The small pots are all starts from cuttings in the garden.
