This week in the garden, August 5th


Holy smokes!  The squash is back.  And it is enormous.  The plants are still covered in the squash beetles, but it seems as if the tin foil wrapped around the base of the plant may have stopped the borers?!?  Today at the garden, I picked 5 squash this size and saw several smaller ones.  The tomatoes are going crazy right now as well.  It seems as if I could filled bags and bags with just tomatoes.  The cucumbers, okra, eggplants and green beans along with the kale and collards all seem to be producing well right now as well.

Squash and tomatoes.  Now this feels like summer.

Happy gardening!

  1. Wow - that's a big squash. Thanks for the note about tomotoes...I'll have to go get some. Was out of town. Glad the tinfoil trick is help!
