The Last Saturday Garden Report of August

I can’t believe it has been nearly a week since I last wrote!  Even when I’m not blogging I am usually posting like crazy on the Imperfectly Happy Facebook page; make sure to go over and like it. 🙂

This week was our first week of school for the new year (2nd & 11th grade).  The little one had an upper respiratory infection and missed day 2 & 3…but we still go all our work completed!  We are back to youth theater and the high schooler joined a new Spanish class.  BUSY!

But thankfully I was finally able to get some seeds in the ground!  So I have something new to share in this final report of August.

 

First, let us take a moment to say good-bye to the watermelon plant.  It tried but never produced a single edible fruit.  Sigh…there’s always next summer.

 

 

 

 

In the same box I have 2 of the 3 green pepper plants that the birds nearly killed.  One is making a better comeback than the other but I am still hopeful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out the sweet potatoes!  They have doubled in size over the last week or so.  I’ve dug around a bit and I’m not feeling any spuds yet. 🙁

 

 

The tomatoes aren’t doing much of anything but they continue to grow.  I’m going to keep letting them put on green and see what happens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the NEW stuff!
