Gardening In My Roots, hot weather edition


First 100+ degree day and I've lost another squash plant. Damn borers!

On a positive note, I harvested some more carrots. It's way too late for them--they're decidedly tough, but still tasty. I should cook them...if they survive the cat attack.


The tomatoes look sad--too few leaves to cover the still green fruit. But the cucumbers are leafing up awesomely!









And the winter squash are trying to choke out my pepper plants. I'm rerouting them, whenever I catch them. I hope they don't mind the temporary indignity of being disentangled from their support and flopped over on their backs.  Winter squash are lovely to have, but peppers are indispensable!
