ENJOYING THE GARDEN

This is the fun time of the gardening season – so much is happening now. I’ve enjoyed watching the tomatoes change from green to blush to red. The Time Bomb Peppers are doing great. There is a new cucumber on the vine. I can’t even count the gherkins, there are so many. Even the elderberries have flowers. The spaghetti squash is ripening. All of the flowers – petunias, cosmos, nasturtiums, impatiens – are going all out with color.

Surprisingly, none of the other squash plants are doing much but making flowers – maybe they produce fruit later? The potatoes have become an act of faith – I’m not sure what they are doing. Time will tell.

I have a new recipe waiting for my spaghetti squash to ripen and just yesterday I saw a vlog by Living Traditions Homestead that has me looking forward to making pizza sauce with my cherry tomatoes.

There’s much to look forward to!
