Weekly Harvest Review

The garden continues to blossom and grow weeds like there is no tomorrow.  We were out of pocket for a few days so instead of picking a little everyday we just picked from the garden two times this week.  We had a bout of fast heavy rain a few weeks ago and it was a little tough on the melons but they seem to be making a come back.  The new growth is green and healthy but it did slow progress a little bit.  I can't wait for cantaloupe to be ready! 

We ran into some great sales at Lowe's last week while in town and picked up some great and cheap plants.  We got some hostas (big ones for $1/each!) for the east side of the house, a few flowers for the beds on the west side, German garlic and 7 blue spruce trees.  Things are really looking great!  I also planted some more zinnias on the south side of the house and some marigolds to keep the bugs away,  all of the seeds are up and the true leaves are coming in!  Zinnias and marigolds have got to be some of the most rewarding seeds to plant!

Here are the harvest pictures. 

All pictures were done before washing so please excuse the dirt!

Eggs, yellow squash, cucumbers and zucchini.

Green beans, yellow wax beans, a test of our carrots (they needed thinning and I couldn't wait to see how they were doing!), zucchini and yellow squash.

 

Eggs, cucumbers and lettuce.

 

A little find when I walked out in the back yard this morning.

 

Such beauty! 

The new zinnias are planted right next to these that are already blooming bright purple/pink.
