Summer crops are my favorite of the gardening season. Outside it is so hot I feel like I might pass out, and the bugs are driving me crazy. The tomatoes are thriving though, and there is a distant promise of watermelons and cantaloupe. Last summer I had more time in the spring than summer to garden so my crops fizzled in the hot summer drought. This year the spring was too windy, too dry, and too cold at night to get decent spring crops going, plus I was super busy until early June. Now I am focusing on summer crops, and am hoping to have a full fall garden.
Thursday, Juan and I managed to get sunflowers, ameranthus, beets, basil, cucumbers, green beans, watermelon and cantaloupe planted. The tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers are transplanted and doing fairly well. In the next week I want to plant some more carrots and basil and get the lima beans going.
