Still No Rain!
We haven’t seen any good rain around here in quite a while and the veggies are showing it. I got my water bill for last month, $100 just to keep everything alive. I hope we get some rain soon!!
Anyway enough cry babying , With the drought still on we do have some stuff coming in, although not as much as we would like.
Green Beans
The green beans are doing good, not gangbusters but good enough. We picked two gallon sized buckets full last week, gave some to my dad and cooked some up for supper one night, we also froze a couple bags for later. Like I said there are enough for us for now, it would work better with rain though!
Yellow Zucchini
The squash vines are starting to show some signs of life, they have been slow to get a good start. There are getting to be a foot or two tall and making fruit, so far just the yellow zucchini, that’s ok though, the green zucchini and the crook neck squash are starting to poke thru. Patience is what we need, along with alot of rain! My other question is , why do the weeds do so well in these condition ! hehehe
Cucumbers
The cucumbers took a hit at the beginning when the chickens scratched them up, but with some fencing and stakes , that’s not a problem now! the cukes are a little slow right now too, all we can do is keep the water going and hope for the best. I did see a ray of hope the other day though!
Well I hope the weather is better in your neck of the woods!
Til next time, garden away!
