The Lone Bell Pepper
There is one spot just outside the labyrinth that became overgrown with weeds. I had tried to grow some vegetables there, but gave up. When I cleared out the weeds this week, I found one (only one) bell pepper. It’s very encouraging. Perhaps I will plant again next year.
Laundry bucket full of peat sprouts pumpkin
This bucket of too-dry peat moss had been left in the path so that it would collect water while the sprinkler watered the Labyrinth Garden. I had seen a seed mixed in with the dry peat, but thought the seed was a dud. Apparently not, as I now have a healthy pumpkin plant. I will need to plant it before too long.
My first tomato of the season finally turned red.
A while back I showed you my first tomato. It finally ripened! My veggie efforts have mostly fallen flat this year. I have one surviving tomato plant and two surviving bell pepper plants, and one plant of ford beans. Not exactly a full harvest. Maybe next year.
Green tomatoes in the Labyrinth Garden
My tomato plant took its time in creating little tomatoes. But I finally have a few green ones starting to grow. Hopefully I will get to eat them before the rabbits do!
Strawberries turning red
My “Berries Galore” everbearing strawberries are turning red, ready to eat! I grow these in a giant pot that I recycled. I have to say I can’t particularly recommend this type of strawberry on taste, but it does seem to live through the summer droughts and winter freezes without too much fuss.
