Garden Update

I promise our summer is more exciting than garden updates, but the garden does show fun, significant change. And we enjoy looking back on the pictures. So here is where we were as of last week!

If you look really closely, you'll see that the bottom half of many of the plants are dying. We deduced, with the help of a few tomato experts, that we had a fungus on our hands. (It just seems cruel that the word "fun" is in fungus!) Dave found a fungicide and we had to wait a week before harvesting again. Hopefully the rest of our tomatoes will still ripen nicely!

Not sure you can see them, but the abundance of cherry tomatoes have been so much fun. Sarah loves to pick these and prefers to eat them before we get inside. Since they seem to be rather perfectly throat size, she has learned that she has to share with Daddy. He eats half of it for safety, as well as to eliminate the juicy pop. Sarah found that scary!

The watermelon vine likes this spot. Baby blueberry bush is on the right.

Hi, baby watermelon!

I picked a ton of parsley this week...and you can't even tell that I touched the plant. So. Much. Parsley. Our parsley meal of the week was tabbouleh.

We are trying a new freezing method- the "parsley log." In theory, this is now a dense, frozen hunk of parsley from which we can slice as needed. Well see how it works!
