Garden Update July 2, 2022

This is the point in the growing season that we start anticipating signs of actual produce coming from the garden. We’ve eaten lettuce and radishes, picked lavender and echinacea flowers but we’re ready to peek under the leaves to see what might actually be growing there. Thought I’d share what we found!

Echinacea is just starting but the potential for much more is visible.
Lavender flowers are now opening so the bees are very busy.
Here’s a view of the whole garden on the hill this 4th of July weekend.
Here’s the view of the backyard planters from the hill.

At the close up level, under the leaves, we found what’s coming!

So far, strawberries have blossoms. Down at ground level, not sure if any actual strawberries will survive the wandering chipmunks!
Most of the cucumbers are about 1″ long…except this one! There is hope!
Delicata squash is finally on its way!
Painted Pony beans are starting to be big enough to see.
Green beans will be ready in a week or two.
Yellow beans will turn yellow when they are ready to pick.
Tomatoes are getting bigger!
Garbanzo beans are just flowers so far.

So that’s the overview! Sort of in a holding pattern, making sure the rain is timed right and the bugs stay away. It’s called gardening season in Pennsylvania! Enjoy!

  1. I am curious to see how your garbanzo beans turn out — the suspense! 🙂
