We have now replanted four of the Grow Boxes with two tomatoes and two marigold plants in each box. We are the proud parents of eight tomatoes that are ready to grow until frost in November. We should be able to get a lot more tomatoes, cukes, squash, beans and peppers for the next three and a half months.
I have also started a new variety of very light green, almost white, zucchini squash that originates from Israel. This is one of the seeds that came from Parks and it should do well in our extremely hot summer. The other Patty Pan type squash I planted tonight is from Scotland and what makes it so unusual is that it forms squash fruit on the plant like Brussel Sprouts do on the main stalk.
I have Nasturtium seeds that will be planted in the squash boxes along with the new transplants, once the seedlings have gotten big enough for the garden. This should make things go better for the squash and the dogs in the fall. They can not wait to get more cooked squash regularly.
The garden has reached a lull and maybe that is good. I think I need to rest for a little while and picking in the smoggy heat is just not for me.
