Our vegetable garden got off to a late start this year, but Jeremy (my resident garden hero) has cared for it admirably and now it’s really in full bloom. We have one cucumber that looks almost ready to be plucked from the trellis, and a few peppers (jalepeno, when I thought we planted bell) that are almost full grown. There are a few peas in full-sized pods and we already picked a handful of spicy-hot radishes. You might be thinking, aren’t radishes a cool-weather crop? Yes, they are, but we took our chances and planted them late as well. A few green cherry tomatoes are on the vine, whereas the full-sized tomatoes haven’t grown yet. Our bean plants are looking fabulous and bushy thanks to Brook who sprayed something on them to stop the bugs. Don’t ask me what she sprayed, but it seems to be doing the trick. Finally, the sunflowers… This year we planted three seeds and we have three magic plants reaching for the sky. I’ll post some pictures in a few weeks.
