The garden has changed a lot this week! The hot weather is pushing things along, so there are some exciting things happening!
This is easily #1 in the exciting category! The first ripe tomato! (Well, not counting the tomatoes in the hanging baskets.) This is a Golden Rave Roma tomato. I expected it to come in first in the ripe tomato contest. Exciting!!!
The Master Gardeners were hard at work earlier this week getting the tomatoes and eggplant mulched. We use wheat straw. The mulch will help keep the soil cooler and evenly moist now that summer is upon us.
Last week’s Zinnia buds have become full fledged blooms. There are lots of gorgeous colors.
The cherry tomatoes have turned into a full blown hedge! And yes…there are a few ripe ones here and there.
The onions in the Family of 4 Garden are rapidly reaching maturity. We may even start harvesting next week.
Everyone stay cool this weekend!
