What's in your garden 2024

[small h]

Things look good on the balcony this year.

Got some sungolds...

Some premios...

Basil, sage, a little dill and parsley...

Rosemary, mint, catnip..

And sorrel. You know what became of the kale, but there's more getting going.

Just how big is your balcony?

5' X 10', give or take. I pack 'em in good!

Our garden got fried, between all of the intense heat and no water for over a week while we were on vacation.  We were getting a lot of berries before then, and several other crops have given up the ghost for the year.  At least the (small) tomatoes seem to be OK.

Please join me in welcoming Sungold #100 2024. We weren't sure we'd get here, but we did. Hardest working plant on the balcony. (No disrespect to the Anaheim pepper, the kale, the tarragon, the sage, the parsley and the mint, but there can only be one champion.)

Sungold is a personal fave

Accept no substitutes.

AKA the "tomato crack"

N has now set up an elaborate water timing system for while we're on vacation, since it's not going to rain again until October.  Hopefully, we won't lose too much.

Conversely, I have yet to set up my irrigation system in the Catskills, since it's rained at least once every four days since I planted.

The first bearings of our persimmon tree have arrived.  They should be fully ripe in a few weeks.

We also have a bumper crop of passion fruit.

Chaos!

I'm making trips to Topeka this week to tend to the cat and garden while my sis and BIL are out of town. I picked a few tomatoes today. There were so many that had gone bad (They didn't have time for a few days before they left.) but there are tons and tons that are green and ripening. I told her via text that at the rate they are producing, they are going to have tomatoes into December!! Watch my dinner posts because I'll be eating lots of tomatoes.
