July Gardens

Squash.  It's almost finished bearing but we've gotten enough to put several packs in the freezer.

These are the green beans with a container of tomatoes in the front.  We really didn't plant enough this year, but it was such a busy summer that it was all we had time to pick and can.

We have most of the tomatoes in the raised beds and a few in containers.  They've all had tomato blight and blossom end rot.  They look awful but they're bearing fairly well.  It's not the best year but it's not the worst, either.

Cantaloupes and watermelons

There are lots of good looking cantaloupes hiding in those vines and a couple of tiny watermelons.  The herbs are in the very front, overrun by the vines. I think we cut the cilantro too aggressively and it died, but the rest is thriving.

Corn, okra, pumpkins, and more green beans

This is the garden that is outside the fence. You can see the cardboard that we laid down as a weed barrier.  It's helped a lot. We have more okra that we can possible use.  Mark and Cindy have been picking some, and we've given most of it away to other people.  The corn did very well.  We had plenty for us and to share.  There are some kershaw melons but we haven't seen any pumpkins yet.
