And, there’s more

Its been dry lately and I don’t have a hose. When I’ve been off work, I’ve often been away from home with the family, so the garden didn’t always get the drink that it needed. The good news is that its raining now and the forecast shows that I should be looking forward to a wet day overall.

Ange didn’t take a few angles that I would have liked to had shots of, so this morning, I took a few more pictures.

Its amazing how much plants will grow if left to their own devices. The pictures in the last post were taken 4 days ago and you can already see more progress. Look at the peas. They have beautiful blossoms and they will be bearing within a week, I’d guess.

This year has been bad for the tomatoes and peppers, but I still have hope that the plants will bear a reasonable amount of produce.

One thing that seems to be unappreciated is the flower that comes out on a vegetable plant. I love to see the white and ping blossoms that pea plants have. And, the yellow blossoms that the beans have. They look so delicate, which makes the next stage of growth so cool.

I’ve been meaning to capture the squash in full bloom, as their flowers usually close up as the day progresses. I was lucky this morning and got a pretty good shot, including the plants’ really large leaf. I hope that there’s time enough for the plants to grow. I’ve seen a lot of bees around the yard, so I shouldn’t have any difficulty with the plants producing something to eat.

I hope that you like these updates.
