July 15 "R" Garden

 Check out my potato harvest, lovely and clean; these were not hilled as I didn't get to the garden as often as I should have - but only lost a few to green skin - Yukon Gold, and my dahlia is blooming already, I love the way it compliment the calendula!  Kale trial plants keep growing and a few direct seeded zinnia just beginning to flower





July 14 Beds 10/11 and 64

 More to harvest ........ Bed 10 is looking full and lush with still some good lettuce; Bed 11 dwarf tomatoes are starting to take on yellow foliage; Bed 64 providing some lovely small zucchini and bush beans

Just amazing growth - the bean trellis is now covered and tomatoes looking healthy and green; tomatoes have been feed weekly with Thrive Alive Green B-1(kelp) and Schultz 10-15-10 Liquid Plant Food



July 10 We Have Tomato Set

back to tomatoes - here are two that have now set fruit

Bundaberg Rumball (from the Dwarf Project) and Sunchocola F1 - gotta love those names .... Sunchocola bred by Tokita in Japan - the same company that gave us Sungold F1......
