when i got to the garden this morning a few of the beds were dry tot he touch and some of the pepper plants here and there looked a tad wilted...it is supposed to be another ninety degree ( fahrenheit ) plus summer day here so i usurped the watering schedule and gave the beds a soaking...if they are watered again it won't hurt...and pardon me if i overstepped...
the populations around the beds are expanding...there are varied types of peppers maturing...
i found cucumbers and there will be no shortage of tomatoes going on ( more there in an minutr )...
and the pollinators are working towards some squash...
the asparagus is doing what it normally does this time of year...feeding the roots...
around the back of the bed cherry tomatoes are ion the way to ripening...
and the volunteer potatoes are still blooming...unfortunately, so far, the blooms appear to be dropping off with no signs of morphing into fruits...just leaving the just of the stalks they bloomed on...
i found neither fruits nor blooms on the spuds cousin carolina horse nettle ( the lawn was probably mowed )...that has not impede their rhizomatic colonization...i counted forty individual plants today as they migrate to the south and east ( towards home ? ) which is more than the last trip out i believe...a marker of climate change that is become native...
down the row the maize is looking robust in its summer green...
the largest of the group has begun to produce a flower and its second tier of support roots are coming to fruition...
the beans continue to find stalks to vine on...i have fair sized bell peppers maturing...and...if you look deep enough into the tangle in the tomato cage there are green tomatoes moving along as well...
nearing the end of the second week of july the garden's season is booming along...looks a though there may be a good cyclical harvest...keep you eyes peeled.
