I've basically ignored my garden the fast several weeks. Rain has tapered off in the northeast so watering sparingly after running the rain barrel dry, I just let nature take its course.
Yesterday I decided now is the time. There are still plenty of flowers on the cucumber and tomato plants and an overgrown collard green plant that needs to be chopped soon. But overall, I'm ecstatic at my first year's garden in our new home!!
FYI, the smaller melons will be used for seeds, not eating, as they're not ripe. And the bright yellow things are the accidental cross pollination of burpless cucumbers and yellow lemon cucumbers. Quite interesting the way nature works sometimes!
