Took down many of the Cosmos today. Couldn't see many of the tomatoes and definitely couldn't reach them.
Tomato plants are flowering again. Guess it was just the heat. Lots of fruit ripening.
Planted more seeds. Carrot, lettuce and dill. Started broccoli in small containers.
Extended to pole bean trellis upward. Tons of flowers, so looks like there should be quite a green bean crop this year! Bush beans are now coming up in numbers. Had pretty much thought they would mature before the pole beans but they didn't deal with the heat very well.
Spread more compost. I'm really impressed with how well the compost has been doing this year. Very dark, very rich. Large part is because I've learned things over time and I'm being a lot more patient. I am still going to compost weeds with seeds but separately from the main compost. I may obtain or build a special container to absorb and maximize heat to deactivate the seeds. Otherwise, just compost them much longer.
Still battling weeds but ever more successfully.
Main garden still looks relatively bare since harvesting onions, lettuce and carrots. It is changing, slowly. Watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin, bush beans are all coming up but still small. Cucumbers are climbing much better. Still no fruit but looking more hopeful.
