Your 2024 Garden

[Sally PB]

I saw a flower on one of my luffa plants today. I saw several buds on a different one yesterday. Some of the plants look ok...ish, and some are looking good.

I cooked yesterday's bean harvest instead of freezing them. Yum!

I picked another zucchini, and a couple ripening tomatoes.

Since I soaked all the vegetable beds yesterday I only watered the potted plants and topped off the birdbaths this afternoon.

And the melon vines are starting to climb the trellises!

I won't be planting watermelons until the 1st of July.

I watered and weeded, and then watered again.

Mother Nature was a you-know-what and gave us raspberries:
instead of rain. I think I counted 15 drops.

We got good storms yesterday and today. About 2 inches of rain today and about an inch yesterday so I got away without watering, even with the heat

I have blossoms on my tomatoes and can pick another round of blueberries soon

 

[Nomadicus]

We may have another handful of blueberries and another one of blackberries to pick. Might even find a dozen ears of corn I and the coons both missed. I'll look just in case as I don't want the dirty thieving coons to have a kernel I missed. I piled all of the shucks and cobs on top of the compost pile and guess what the coons did to that? They got on top and raked it all off onto the ground trying to find an ear we missed there.

Did some watering and weeding yesterday. Then had to come inside to cool off. Suppose to be hotter this weekend.
The melons and winter squash seem to have took off growing. The vines are filling their space. There are hills of water melon, canteloupe, pie pumpkin and butternut squash. Also marigolds, zinnia and sunflowers.
This will be a jungle by maturity.

I grilled the first eggplant of the season today along with some country style ribs. One of the last remaining packages of frozen okra got fried to go along as a side dish. That may be why I'm sleepy so early and wanting to find my bed already tonight.

Roma II bean canning should be in full swing by Wednesday next week. I've got to start irrigating them tonight and hope there is some more rain by then. one variety of main crop sweet corn (Kandy Korn) has started to tassel. Electric fence must go up by mid week. It's to hot out there to think about anything but watching the water been applied to the garden. Right now it is 100° on the front porch in the shade.

 

[fuzzi]

It's brutally hot here, too, not 100° though.

I soaked the gardens last night, watered the container gardens this morning.

And I finished staining the front of the "new" shed.

I'm staying inside until later, slightly before dusk and once there's no direct sun.
