I realized that I rarely provide garden updates during the summer and fall months. The reason is probably because of how busy we usually are. However because of how excited I am about the tomatoes and the possibility of having a zucchini harvest I wanted to share. I want to say upfront that the garden has been a huge disappointment this summer. I ended up purchasing four boxes of tomatoes from the farm stand in order to get us stocked up for the winter. I think so far we have maybe 5 zucchini and yellow squash. The weather has played a huge role as it has been extremely dry and hotter than usually. Or is this a bad garden year because I was out of town for four weeks? Guess it really does not matter!
I ended up planting 15 zucchini seeds last week in a last ditch effort to see if my seeds were bad or if I just cant grow things. We should have enough time before our first frost but it can be a toss up as we get closer to October. Hopefully we will get some more zucchini at least we have sprouts!
Now the Good…. I am not sure of the tomato variety but they are all beautiful and we will use them all!
The garden arches have fill out and we should get some loofas from them!
The bad…
And the ugly, my front tomato beds that have already died with little results and the reason I am so excited about the volunteer tomatoes
