Week twenty four in the garden

We are still waiting for some bell peppers. I hope bugs don't eat peppers too! Oh the pain of being an organic farmer. We could kill those bugs with pesticide but we would rather not eat poison in our food.

I hope the cantaloupes ripen soon cause summer is over and I think they like full sun.

There is never a shortage of cherry tomatoes at our house. They have easily been our biggest producer along with the kale. We could live of those two alone.
We had a little rain today and the swiss chard was still wet when we took our photos.

Our romaine is getting very tall. Daddy keeps cutting it down but it just won't stop shooting upward.

San Marzano, what can I say. I hope I get to know you better next year.

Week sixteen in the garden

Sixteen long weeks and we've only harvested a small basket of cherry tomatoes!What is going on around here? We've got basil on the way.Let's get with it Daddy. Mommy needs to make some marinara sauce already. Since we were still packing for our big move when we should of been sowing seeds, our garden is a little behind schedule. The San Marzano plants keep growing and growing but have yet to bear any fruit.
On the other hand, it's starting to look a lot like Thanksgiving around here. We have ripening sugar pumpkins and mini stalks of corn growing oh so well.
Speaking of things growing well, look at our romaine.It is really doing better than we ever expected. Daddy has finally redeemed himself in the lettuce growing department. It only took him a few seasons to get it right but you know what they say...better late than never.
I love how fast zucchini grows. I bet if I just stared at it all day long I would totally see it get bigger.
On the other hand, it doesn't look like the cucumbers have grown a bit since last week so we will have to wait and see how long they take to grow. Hopefully it's not too long.
