Lot's of picking needed to be done...Last night after dinner I opened the door to look outside and realized it was so cool and refreshing outside. I had been so tired from the previous days activities that I had taken a nap during the day and when I woke up I worked on getting all the pictures of the class reunion online. I had no idea that it was so nice out. So at around 6:45pm my honey, little helper and i went out to the garden and blueberry bushes. Well did I find a few surprises for me. The 3 red toms that i had seen the day before were nice and soft when i gave them a light squeeze and one of the lemon boys was a bit soft. So I picked them. Once in the garden patch, I started looking around. picking up leaves and seeing what might be hiding on me. First thing I picked was a jalapeno pepper. Yum...Then I picked up a few cukes leaves...SURPRISE..a couple biggies hiding under the leaves. It is amazing what you can miss in the garden.... ![]() Logan was a little temped by that cuke! ![]() Then I noticed that the tom plants are in need of another haircut. I pulled a few leaves and suckers off...i need to spend some serious time out there today. I need to stop their growth upwards and outwards. Time to focus all that energy on the fruit. I can't believe that it is august already. I can't help but pout...snow in just a few months... ![]() ![]() Here is Logan with a few of the tomato plants. Most of the plants are over 4 feet tall. ![]() ![]() ![]() I found a few more green beans...lots of babies growing, soon there will be plenty to eat, share and freeze. The zucchini is a bit of a disappointment. Lots of male flowers and not many female. Only 1 little zucchini growing right now, and lots of male flowers. Michael spent his time on the 3 blueberry bushes. He picked another 2 quarts of berries. Blackberries are also starting to ripen. Here is Logan under one of the blueberry bushes. ![]() Here are pics of today harvest. ![]() ![]() This is what we picked this weekend: ![]() New sunflowers in the garden this weekend: ![]() ![]() ![]() I did find 2 more tomatoes that have been damaged by blossom end rot. they are all on the same plant. i haven't found any of the other plants suffering from it. The rot is on one of the plants that grew faster and got fruit sooner. I hope there won't be any more destroyed. ![]() ![]() The rain is supposed to come back today. Tuesday is the only day this week that is supposed to be sunny and dry. All this rain and thunder is getting a bit old! This blog entry has been viewed 417 times

I just enjoy these posts of yours so much. Always lots of pics and text.--just great!
I will start feeding them some tomato food as well. I am giving them miracle grow as well and have been a bit hesitant to feed them with all the rain and the wet. But today I will go out and give them some good old food. Thanks for the advice.
I feed my courgettes every other time as long as the weather is hot and sunny. I don´t know what ´Miracle Grow´ is. That is to say, I don´t know what the NPK levels are. It sounds like it would produce miracles. --grin--
Your produce looks delicious! And your little guy is adorable. Looks like he loves gardening as much as you do.
