Sunny and Hot

What a beautiful day. I gave everything a good soak this morning before it got too hot. It reached 90 degrees this afternoon in my yard. I also took some photos of the garden while it was still shady.

It won't be long now....









Photos below: Bed 2. I pulled out the last of the broccoli and planted 2 butternut squash and 1 zucchini to fill in the bed. The cucumbers are not as far along as this time last year mostly due to the weather. I also started with smaller plants. I started my seeds in the green house a month later than the year before. I think I will go back to starting them in January.

Photo below: Bed 5. We fixed the trellis today. We had to pull it off the old fence before they took it down . Sweet Husband secured it to the new fence and I weaved the acorn squash through it and planted a cucumber in place of the acorn squash that was pulled up during the rebuild.

This years garden got off to a slow start with the cooler than normal Spring. But overall I think it's doing well.
