Cooler in Florida today. Crazy!!!

Ripley just wanted to pop onto the blog and say Hi.

He was a bit jealous that Riley was highlighted again this week. (He forgets he had his own spread last week).

Have a great evening! Take care!

The drought and extreme heat we have been having has really played havoc on the garden. There are a few signs of success, but nothing massive to report.

I am excited to see that two watermelons have started to grow. This to me is so fun as I am trying to do these by seed and I really didn’t think that anything was going to happen. Hopefully the grow to a decent size and we get to enjoy them.

The cherry tomato plants are doing well, as you can see we have some ready to harvest and more on the way.

The corn is starting to grown.. Not sure if we will actually be able to eat this corn or if the birds will have a great snack as it’s not getting real big, but again this was an experimental item for this year. Next year I will make sure it has it’s own box with lots more room to grown.

I think I am most disappointed in my pepper plants. I still only have two peppers and they are growing but very, very slowly. These look much bigger than it actually is.

The cucumbers have started to sprout. Can’t wait to have fresh cucumbers.. Yummm

Thanks for taking a peek at the garden, no matter how much we harvest, it great fun to watch grow.
