That bean pool is so cool, DiGs! Are you getting a good yield?
So, it is definitely a no-go for your root vegetables this year, fantasia? No recovery?
That broken pot/fairy look is adorable!
This summer has been so rainy that much is flourishing, but some plants do not like this much precipitation. It seems cucumbers fall into that category. The plants started out really well, but as the rain continued to fall, almost daily at times, they must have become oversaturated, so . Other folk in our area have had the same problem.
My carrots are still quite small, but so tasty. However, I'm not digging them up yet, as I'd like them a bit longer than 3". Boy, are they good, though! Really earthy and carrot-y.
My tomatoes are taking their sweet time. I see the Brandywines are full and ripening, hurrah! My grape tomato plant became overgrown, amongst other issues. I don't think I'm going to get much from it. The Romas are tasty, but not plentiful.
I picked a very large bowl of yellow and green beans in the cool of last evening. Mmmm! They're a bit overripe, but it's been too wet and too mosquito-y to even venture out there lately.
This is our first year having the garden, so we're still experimenting as to where is best, and if we are leaving it where it is, we need to further clear out around it for more air movement and sunlight. We have a few ideas to implement next year, and will think on these more.
