Here is the end of July update for my lil patch!
This photo was taken in the morning with dew on the grass. We have had very cool weather, the highest temp we ever had was about 83 and it lasted one day, I would say the average temp this month has been 76 which to me is just heaven! The zucchini is growing so fast, I only have two mounds but still I harvest 3 zuccs every two days, the zuccs are pictured here on the left, the large VW shaped plant! The corn is really doing well, I have about 1-2 ears on each stalk so far and I have 35 stalks. You really don't get much sweet corn for the space it takes in your garden but I really love corn, its my favorite of all veggies so it will always have a place in my gardens! Check out the pic of the carrots, wow, I never thought I would be able to grow carrots and look, they are orange, slender, real carrots! Lately my favorite dish has been a sort of Low Carb Spaghetti dish. I take whatever I harvested, green beans, zucchini, green tomatoes, chives, carrots, parsley and peas in the pods, I combine them in a large skillet with an inch of water and butter, simmer until all veggies are soft, add chopped garlic and let the water boil off, next pour in a generous amount of spaghetti sauce and let it reduce a little, pile it on a very large plate and top with Parmesan cheese. Garlic bread optional, so easy and so so good for you!
