September 2009

This the result of me ignoring the garden for weeks on end. It was just TOO HOT to go outside. It looks like a jungle. But notice the lack of weeds? I LOVE this way of gardening. It's down to the upper 90's now so I can putter in the evenings.
The sweet potatoes are spilling out on the right. The spaghetti squash vines dried up after I picked the squash. Basil, Peppers, Tomatillos, onions are still going strong. I cut back the regular tomatoes in August and you can see on the left there they are just starting to flower out again. I didn't even put shade cloth over them this year to over summer them. I think the overgrowth shaded them nicely.
