Seeds, Dirt and Love (part 2)

We picked our first ripe tomato today...yippee! Along with a bunch of green beans, we can now add this fruit to the lettuce, spinach, mesclun, braising mix, kale, saucer squash, cilantro, dill, cucumber, and onion we've enjoyed so far.



I swear the cabbage, cantaloupe, cha-cha squash, peppers and pumpkin are getting bigger by the minute. Here are some more photos...tiny pepper and pumpkin.













We've got flowers too.
Check out this hibiscus blossom:









Blackberries...arg, what to do?
Mmmmm, upside-down cake.

And why is our garden so successful?

Bisy....on guard.

Seeds, Dirt and Love (part 1)

Holy Summer! Our garden is kickin'! We've had our share of the leafy stuff (lettuce, spinach, mesclun, kale), enjoyed the basil, dill and cilantro, and had a few flying saucer squashes (yummy!). We are now waiting for our 20 tomato plants (each with at least 10 tomatoes attached) to start ripening. We'll be up to our necks in 'maters and will be 'putting up' pint-fulls of sauce, salsa and ketchup.


Yes, it wouldn't be a Galiga garden without cucumbers...for pickling...but the vines are being a bit sluggish right now. Perhaps they'll catch up with the cantaloupes, pumpkins and cha-cha squashes (see photo) that are sending their vines all over.
