In spite of record heat and drought, we managed to raise a fairly successful crop this year. Thanks to Frances, we had heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers. Though not included in this photo, we also grew lots of acorn and butternut squash, and basil.
Some of you have met Lani, though most of you have not. She and Paul have shown an interest in gardening, and lucky for them, Frances had many seedlings left over from her summer stock, and we had plenty of room for another raised bed or two in our double plot at the Sunshine Gardens. Though they got a rather late start, the little plants you see here are no longer recognizable.
While Paul and Lani's plants are
beginning to bear the fruits of their labor, the rest of the plot is winding down. I've been uprooting the old spent plants to make room for the fall garden. Seems a bit premature, but this relentless heat has taken its toll and given us an extremely short growing season.
