Garden picture updates 7/30 - please link back to the post I'm replying to for a sense of progress.
egg plant and tomatoes, in the lower left, there are two cucumber plants that enjoy climbing on the tomato cages. I've caged them in too, that helps to keep them growing up and off the ground, which in turn eases harvesting.
some of the sweet corn, all but a few potatoes have burned up in the straw. The empty space is where I dug up all the onions. I dried them for a few days and put them in an old orange sack for storage. For better corn, heavy nitrogen is the key. The pigmy corn in this picture didn't get enough.
Zuchinni is doing very well, my lovely wife has been busy preparing different egg plant and zuchinni recipes. My favorite is to brown bacon in a skillet with onions or scallions, when the bacon is nearly done, add diced zuchinni with the peel on and I like a touch of garlic. Cook until the zuchinni is soft and then pig out. Very simple and very delicious. The plant above that is a "lemon" cucumber. My daughter thought it sounded cool, so we tried it out. The fruit is on the small side, but very abundant and has a good flavor. My wife thinks the seeds are too big, I don't. lol
I do have two different pumpkins and two different types of squash planted somewhere in this picture behind the weeds. The pumpkins are a smaller species and the other an heirloom variety. I'm hoping to save these over winter and use them to supplement the chicken feed.
The ever so intimidating guard dog. I would leave him out to scare off those cute little bunnies and raccoons, but we like the little guy. We keep him inside where it's safe.
He's positive that he can whip them, were not so sure.
