Community Gardening Update - There Will Be Food!


This little guy has his sights set on being a cantaloupe when he grows up.


This even tinier fellow insists that he will be a watermelon someday. 
If you look closely, you will see he is already boasting some stripes.


This pickling cucumber, the first of the season, begged to be picked.
There will be some good refrigerator dill pickles to be had this summer.


The Roma tomatoes are setting lots of fruit. 


These are the largest tomatoes in our plot. 
Hoping to have tomatoes in a couple of weeks.


The broccoli is setting heads, though complaining about the heat every day.
It repeatedly insists that it likes cooler temperatures.
Not an uncommon complaint these days.


The sunflowers are making up for lost time,
easily growing several inches each day.


And the zinnias!
They look like they've all just had an accident.
Not so. Mayor and Sis watered them.
They are stout, hardy, boisterous little creatures.
No, they are not sitting on brown carpet.
The garden is actually that weed-free and smooth,
again, thanks to Mayor and Sis.

Wishing for cooler temperatures, more rain, and no more storms,
just like most folks in this neck of the woods.
