Good Morning!
Weekending: It was (and still is) HOT. We stayed mostly inside. The end.
That pretty much sums the weekend up. Beastly hot. I was able to do some knitting and stitching inside as well as a bit of reading, so it was not all bad. We had a slight chance of rain last night, but that never happened. Thank goodness Fletch watered the garden.
While Fletch was watering, I walked out to look at things. First up, we have little yellow squash beginning to grow!!
It's almost time to harvest garlic...but we usually do that around July 4th. Meanwhile, our onions are growing so well.
We can't decide if our tomatoes are doing well or not. We have one Roma plant this year - I wanted it for cooking. There are two tomatoes on it beginning to ripen, but they are small.
Our cherry tomato plants do have fruit, but nothing ripening yet and the plants don't look all that healthy. Fletch planted a ton of beans and we have exactly 2 shoots coming up. Not sure what's with that. We do have several very small cucumbers growing and the eggplant on the patio is healthy and finally flowering, so it should not be long before we see early eggplants forming. The most exciting though is that we now have figs!!
It took awhile. After forming 3 figs prior to any leaves erupting, nothing more happened. The tree leafed out and nothing...then one day Fletch spotted a dozen or so figs about the size of pencil erasers...now they are getting to be marble size.
We will do a quick grocery shopping this morning before it gets beastly hot again. That's it for today's plans.
I hope everyone is staying cool. Fingers crossed we get a break from this weather soon.
