How does your garden grow July 2015 edition

First zucchini.

Sometimes it feels trivial to be writing about a garden when there is so much going on in the world to talk about. Of course, pick a subject and you will find lots of people willing to tackle the problems no matter whether they know anything about their subjects beyond some bull dust punch line or not. So, then, it's like why not put a little positive green into the mix and see what pops up.

Lettuce and spinach with a whole garbage bag full gone.

Yesterday a friend asked how my garden was doing and the only adjective that came to mind was overflowing. In that came the realization that I haven’t put up any photos in maybe a month. So at least the blog isn't overflowing with garden pictures not until today anyway. 

Unfortunately my daughter and her family came out yesterday and we did some harvesting so it is not as overflowing as it was a couple of days ago. Still I think it looks pretty good so I went out today, did a little more harvesting and made some pictures.

Joseph Wambaugh is not impressed.

Potatoes after two harvests.

More squash, zucchini and acorn.

My daughter took one of those white tall kitchen garbage bags full of lettuce, a standard plastic shopping bag full of spinach, a small bag of onion tops and a small bag of small potatoes, not a bad haul in midseason. So, anyway. these pictures are what's left.


Isn't that much better than announcing another candidate crawling out of the Republican clown car?
