It is obvious to me that the garden's days are numbered for the year 2010. It is now cooler outside and it is a pleasure to sit and pick beans. The new tomatoes are reaching maturity and the peppers love the change in temperature as they are blossoming again.
Officially we have now reached the 230 pound plus level. It is amazing that everything is pushing my numbers up to my hoped for level for the year. I don't know if I can reach 300 pounds but we are sure going to give the number a run for its money.
There are so many things growing now that I haven't tried before in my previous gardens. Broccoli and cauliflower are new for my garden and everything is a learning experience. I am trying Sugar Snap peas for fall planting and I am not delighted with the growth of the plants. Maybe the sugars need to mature as it warms up during the day rather then starting in the heat and the days growing cooler.
Whatever ends up in the garden is not up to us. We can pamper our plants, fight their bugs, fertilize the soil, but ultimately it is just not up to us.
Just look skyward, breathe the sweet, cool air and know a power greater than ourselves is in charge.
