Finally a tiny bit of relief from the painfully dry weather. Not enough to make a big difference but it felt good anyway! The garden is looking wonderful thanks to 2 families who it turns out were watering morning and evening without the other knowing. That explains the Oasis!
The flower bed along the back gate looks great. The large leafed climbing vines are useful gourds. We planted them with the fourth graders in May. If you look closely at the flowers, you will see the tiny gourds starting to form. And the tendrils on these vines are beautiful and amazing. The tendril is what grabs onto the fence and supports the plant. Be sure and take a close look.
I was at the garden last night and saw an amazing, huge moth on the basil. It was the one night I didn't have my camera. Keep your eyes peeled for all the nature going on!
Tomatoes are starting to ripen up and the cukes and melons are finally making a comback under the TeePee trellis.
I'll be away for the week so if you have any burning questions, please contact Gina Smith or watch the watering video to hopefully answer your questions. Have a great week and I can't wait to see how much the garden grows in a week!
