Garden Update

This has been a pretty good year so far for our garden. We have been frying up zucchini almost every day as a side with a meal, there is a big jar of pickles in the refrigerator from our cucumber plant and the tomatoes and peppers are now coming on so fast we will need to start putting some up. As for the herbs the parsley and basil seem to be faltering a bit while the rosemary and chives are growing well. We found that if we let the zucchini grow too big the skin becomes too thick and hard to cut and chew, a problem we had not experienced before. The cucumbers so far this year have been fat and slightly bitter, while the tomatoes and green peppers have been excellent. Barring an extended drought occurring during a heatwave, like last year, this should be one of our best gardening seasons on the acreage yet.
