Hello All -
Some of those pictures, mainly the squash ones were a month out of date, so I thought I'd update you. These were taken after the lovely heatwaves we've been having and the squash and tomatoes are loving it!
Also, the last picture of yellow summer squash isn't very good, but we ate them right after I took it, so it'll have to do...they were soooo tastey! The camera lens lid is above them to give context. Can't wait for the next one - tomorrow probably!
So, I think these were 'Heart of Gold' Acorn hybrid starts, but they are dark green stripes on medium green bodies, no creamy color outside...but I can't find the tag - must have been buried during all the watering. (That's my row of sunflowers against the house.)
They are growing up a triangular trellis Bryce and I build out of bamboo after looking at
this one and deciding we could just do one side with less bamboo. Fortunately, our squash hasn't overwhelmed it yet - slow year, I guess.
You can only see part of it, but the one on the very left is the size of a small pumpkin and quite round, not scalloped at all. I'm excited, but unsure when to pick it...
My first Green Bell Pepper...
The farthest along Sunflower Head. Almost all of the stalks are developing heads now that the heat set in. Most of them are 8' tall - not bad for such a small seed. I can't wait to see what happy shade of Cheerful Yellow they are!!
