Sad Day

I went out to the garden today because the squash plant was looking a little sad. Come to find out the squash plant is sad, because something has been eating it. :( I think it's aphids. So, Robert pulled out the sulfur and sprinkled some on i, don't think it will work for aphids, but it's a good start. Now to research how to get rid of the millions of bugs... off to google.

We still have tons of basil, tons of peppers growing and cucumbers.

Cucumbers, Squash and Basil oh my

What I pulled from our garden this morning:

3 Large Cucumbers

1 Large Squash

I also chopped back the basil. Robert usually does this, but since he's out this week I didn't want the flowers to keep growing and making the basil bitter, so I chopped them all off. (Which is almost a weekly thing)

Garden week??

Everything seems to be growing well. We now have jalapenos growing (20 at last count), 4 cucumbers, multiple squash, 3 Roma-Grape Tomatoes, beans are blooming, lettuce is growing, and all that jazz! The only thing is that I've had to move some plants around b/c our squash was taking over the garden. This was crowding the bell peppers (which aren't growing yet) so I moved them up. Let's hope they survive.

Let me take you on a tour of our back yard gardens...

One of the side gardens in the back yard with Elephant Ears, Caladiums, Monkey Grass and a few flowers.

Cucumbers are growing like crazy. We currently have only 3 or 4 cucumbers growing, but we have lots of flowers. Also, in this garden are carrots, pepper plants and marigolds.

Our pretty Hibicus Tree (I killed the last one, b/c I planted it in the ground and then was too lazy to dig it up, so it didn't survive the winter. This one will stay in the pot and go in the garage during winter)

This little garden is mainly Nana's creation. It has flowers, a mini rose bush and those orange flowers that grow tall and I can't remember what they are called.

The Veggie Garden.

Squash, squash and more squash.

Bean Stalks, we have bean flowers, but no beans yet.

Middle of the garden, peppers, lettuce, marigolds, LOTS OF BASIL. (Robert cuts the basil about once to twice a week and it still is growing flowers and getting larger!)

Jalapenos!

Tomatoes.

We finished out this side of the back yard garden a couple of weeks ago. It still needs more stones to finish it out completely, but looks great! This is all flowers. (Please ignore the dirt in the grass, we are growing more grass!)
