Much of the east coast is suffering with late blight, as you know... and then there are the dwarfed crops. Still, there is so much beauty to share. I found you through About... and look what I have been missing. Thank you Colleen.

My garden is full of greenery -- green beans galore, overgrown plants full of green tomatoes (today is the day I cut them back) and huge raspberry plants just about ready to fruit. The best time of the year is upon us! Glad to hear from you again, Colleen!

Plus I have some grasshoppers that seem to love my cherry tomatoes and are eating their way around the middle of anything left on the plant beyond the 'starting to change color' stage. The bigger tomatoes are doing just fine though. Plus, thanks to the shade our salad greens have been growing away just fine, yes in the heat of July. I have been having a hard time with my squash though. Even though they are climbing up to more sunlight, I have beetles turning the leaves to lace and the plant working so hard to keep growing, that we have only seen 2 flowers, and neither of them are producing fruit. They also ate all but one of my cucumber plants. My husband asks if I am sure I won't resort to sprays and poisons next year, but we are eating plenty from the garden, so I can handle sharing with the bugs.
