While I was away

13 years ago

We were gone during the heat wave last week. As soon as I returned, I checked my vegetable garden...was amazed to see that most things survived and doubled/tripled in size! Watering the soil deeply definitely helped before we left. Did everyone else's vegetables/flowers double/triple in size due to the heat wave last week?

I was away last week as well. Came home to see the pumpkin vines grew at least 5 or 6 feet, zucchini everywhere, peppers starting to swell, and two ripe tomatoes! ( sungold cherry and stupice) summer is on!

All hot weather vegetables. There is, of course another whole set of cool season crops grown in vegetable plots here.
