Saturday Garden Report 7/6/13

Cherry Tomatoes – did the best of the 3 but started drying out in the oppressive heat last week.

Golden Jubilee – I did get a few good and super tasty tomatoes off this plant. They were much smaller than I was expecting. I did have a few with blossom rot but that was corrected with some egg shells.

Pink Brandywine – Had lots of growth and blossoms but not one tomato. 🙁 New growth at the bottom…

Sweet potatoes grown from my pantry. There was NO yellow last week so we’ve decided that these have been over-watered. I think they’ll come back strong with a day or 2 off.

Green Bell Peppers – these have really grown in the last few weeks. Those 3 are nearly tripled in size. The other 2 are finally starting to show some growth.

The cucumbers…there were a lot more. The sun just seemed to eat them up. I have started shading them in the hottest part of the day and I’m seeing a comeback.

WATERMELON!!!!!! I am super duper excited about these! I remember eating home grown watermelon from my grandfather’s garden, as a kid, never better.
