This year has been hot and dry. We are in the worst drought on record. Finally the rains came end of June/early July. Up and down the block people are out each night fighting the war against the squash bugs - squishing with their bare hands. Our poor giant pumpkin plants never had a chance.
We started everything from seed this year, except the mints. We have pineapple, apple, spearmint, and some other varieties. Delicious with blood orange bitters, sparkling water, bourbon?
Finally, the basils are up and harvestable. The Thai and Genovese are looking great, and Tulsi is finally doing well too.
Tomatoes plants have bloomed, finally, and are producing delicious small orange tomatoes, we have red too. The yellow pear are just not as tasty as the others, not sure why?
Experimental 20-gallon grow bags for raised beds are housing our eggplant, chiles, melons, things are doing great. This is a good option if you are space limited and want to grow a high volume in a small space.
