My starter veggie garden is producing
and we were able to enjoy our
FIRST HARVEST,
although small!!
Little, juicy tomatoes, summer squash, mammoth jalapeno, and sweet basil!
We started the garden at the beginning of March...a little late.
It progressed very quickly and filled in like a bunch of weeds!
I was so hopeful for the cucumbers...
...but they shriveled and died like someone assassinated them!!
I suppose it was the very hot sun and high temps...
I'll have to screen them next time.
The squash came on strong, and has produced...
but I'm not seeing longevity...
maybe it's struggling with the powdery mold?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
PS - My friend, Michele, informed me
that squash blossoms are AMAZING fried!!
I'm going to have to try this out!
The jalapenos are thriving as are the yellow and red bell peppers!
Both forms are still green...can't wait for their bright colors to burst!!
And the tomato harvest looks as though there's much more to come!
The basil is wonderful,
and I always let some go to seed in order to resow.
Another reason...
Lola loves the basil tops!
Delectable!
