Peppers and Tomatoes

 

We got 5 inches of rain in July, so the peppers and tomatoes have grown.  

With a forecast for more this weekend, we should get tomatoes.  

Beans are full of blooms, but lost the squash and cucumber as predicted.

This is our Basil row, and two rows of Okra, as well as some birdhouse gourds.

Cosmos is Happy...ready to bloom.

Volunteers in the Mint bed

I planted a new mint bed this spring and added our compost to the soil and look what came up!

Squash and Tomato in the Peppermint

More Squash and Tomato in the Spearmint

Cucumber hiding in there...pretty exciting for this fresh cucumber lover.

Rain Fell (1.3 inches)

Believe the squash are lost, cucumber too.

Squash came up in the compost
