I am growing tons of stuff this year. I should say I was, until it got so friggin' hot here. Everything is drying up even though I water several times a day. The heat index has been over 100 for the last two weeks and no rain in sight!
In my herb garden I have many different varities of mints and basils, tarragon, chives, thyme, lemon thyme, sage, tri-color sage, two kinds of rosemary, three oreganos, parsley, savory, chervil (almost dried up), epazote, and garlic.
In containers I have several different lettuces, a mesclun mix, a spicy mix, leaf lettuce and some mini cherry tomatoes.
My veggie garden has tomatoes (brandywine, lemon boy, Juliette, grape romas, Romas, celebrity, bush cherry and tiny sugar sweet ) eggplant (fairy tale (lavender stripe), black beauty, Ichiban, and White Cloud Nines), Sugar snap peas, English Peas, Burgundy beans, snap beans, yellow wax beans, pickling cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, straight neck, white patty pan, butternut, delicata squash, pumpkin, watermelon, silver queen corn, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, turnips, beets and radish.
All the root veg and corn are new to me this year. I hope I get some kind of crop from them. The radishes are soooo spicy! My peas are almost done. God, they were delicious!
I adore watching my seeds sprout, tilling the land, transplanting seedlings at the right time and watching them grow, but caring for them in this heat is almost unbearable! My dogs don't even want to go outside anymore!
Can't wait to see the water bill this month
