After dinner last night, I said to The Husband, "Let's walk down to look at the garden."
He gave me a skeptical look. The last time I'd said those words to him, we'd both ended up with hoes in our hands. But that was during last week's cool spell. It was hotter than a firecracker yesterday.
"Just look," I reiterated.
We put on our shoes and went to the garden.
Stuff looks surprisingly healthy.
We picked three cucumbers and a handful of jalapeno peppers. The cucumber vines are loaded with tiny cucumbers that will be pick-able in a few days. We brought the three cucumbers home and put them in vinegar with sliced onions. They'll be tasty tonight.
The squash plants are blooming well, and we saw tiny squash forming.
The tomatoes are pretty far from ripe, but the plants look good. All but three of the Hossinator tomatoes died, but those three are looking great. I'm going to stop at the greenhouse this afternoon to see if they have any more tomato plants to replace those that died.
The okra hasn't come up yet. The seeds need watering to sprout. There's a slight chance of rain this weekend, but I think we'll need to water the garden.
