The garden is a beautiful sight to see with its lush squash plants with large, vivid orange-yellow blossoms, the bamboo tepees with tomato vines reaching for the tops, and bush bean plants sporting lovely lavender blossoms and baby Contender beans ready to pick by Saturday! The pole beans are vining gracefully up the wire fencing and blossoming nicely. The cucumber plants are loaded with prickly little gherkin-sized cukes and plenty of yellow blossoms. The gorgeous scarlet nasturtiums with their lily-pad shaped leaves punctuate the long row beautifully here and there.
The cabbage plants, however, are worm-chewed, tired, and wishing I would put them out of their misery and just start over! In between those, the dill, chamomile, and clary sage are full of promise and want me to just be CAREFUL if I pull the cabbage.
The tomato vines are finally fruiting and beautifully. There are LOTS of blossoms accompanying the tiny green tomatoes. The basils - purple, red, and green - between the tomatoes are becoming lush and full.
