All this rain has turned my garden into a jungle! Our eggplants are unfortunately rotting before they ripen up, never had that problem before and I think it’s from the huge amount of rain we’ve gotten this summer. The beans are coming in real well and I’ve got 8’ tall okra plants that are also producing pretty well. My collards are being eaten up by the cabbage moths but they are leaving the kale alone. Have gotten some peppers, both bell and chili types, but they really prefer drier weather. Our volunteer butternut squash is producing really well- we had one for dinner last night. The cukes are done, but am just now getting flowers on the summer squash (we were way late putting it in). We’ll see if it produces anything- I stuck it in the middle of the beans this year to see if that would give it camoflage from the squash borers...oh, and we’ve lost all the paste tomato plants and a cherry tomato and one of the cherokee purples to a wilt.. but that’s ok since wekve filled the freezer with tomatoes that need to be turned into sauce when we get time and the other Cherokee Purple, Mortgage lifter and Brandywine are producing more slicers than we can eat- giving lots away to friends and family.
The weeds are growing tall and thick now- all the rain has made it really hard to keep up!
