What did you do in the garden today?

[WorkingWith]

It finally rained today! So i did a little dance in my garden. I also collected up the last of the snap peas, a few orange million tomatoes and a ton of onions. Tonight i'll be replanting in a few of my beds for fall and clearing out one of the beet beds.

I watered, weeded, picked a bunch of tomatoes and now I'm trying to figure out the plan for dinner that must include tomatoes, not that I'm complaining AT ALL!

The BEST thing I ever ever did for my garden was run drip irrigation on a timer. I use way less water, I water at the source of the plant and everything has just gone completely bonkers in this awesome heat with enough water.

I got a full 5 gallon bucket of Brandywine tomato's yesterday so I will be making up some more divine salsa

Next year I am going to plant a little patch of celantro ( I hate it but its a must have for salsa so ..) and a pepper plant. LOL

I think a small patch of dill as well and perhaps some mustard.

My poor beds are currently getting over run with grass/weeds from hell because it's too hot for me to go weed. I think it's bermuda grass and I can't kill it for anything!.

At what size does a zuchinni become a 'marrow'? LOL ..I should take photos of these suckers ...huge is an understatement.

You can use flat leaf parsley instead of of cilantro for the salsa. I don't like cilantro either and the parsley works great!

I picked ... three handfuls of squash bugs. Ew!!

I'm ready to put out my fall tomatoes and got the rest of my fall seeds ordered today. Still hoping for a few winter squash to set on but this unrelenting heat is not helping.

I trapped a squirrel!!!

One of many that need trapping. They're eating all my tomato's and corn. Now waiting for DH to get home to "dispatch" it.

I picked this melon a little smaller than a tangerine with white flesh. Interesting to say the least.

I picked some squash and a green pepper, and ate them (fried in olive oil)

Frech charantaiis? yummy!

Today I picked some tomatoes and an early butternut. I've got some melons almost ready, but not big ones yet. Picked 4 ears of corn for dinner, but the ruby reds almost done, and the peaches and cream are coming on.

Went out of town for a week,and after not having any rain for so long I can't remember, we had rain twice while I was gone and again the day I came home.So I'll be picking weeds when it dries out.
