Long time no post

Well I am at work right now and have some time to post. My photos are all on my desktop computer at home though so wordy post here we come.

First, garden update

we have been harvesting and eating
cabbage
onions
corn
tomatoes (big red ones and little yellow ones and little red ones)
cucumbers
lettuce
spinach
squash
zuccini(sp)
a beet is ready (haven't picked it yet though)
green beans
broccoli

have yet to harvest
jalapenos (any day now though)
green pepper (any day now, they sure are pretty)
carrots (it will be a while)
cantaloupe (we shall see it will be a while)

The bugs are crazy! the worms that got on the broccoli made me not want to eat it! they were small and the same color as the broccoli, there was no way to be sure I wasn't eating worm!
small black bugs are on the corn (just saw them yesterday)
there are some beetles out there though they haven't devastated anything yet.
If we leave the tomatoes out there long enough to get red they are destroyed (I think by birds) so we have to let them ripen on the countertop.

I am not a fan of pesticides but will use them every now and then to keep the bugs to a minimum.
It is time to plant the fall crops, or soon will be. some space in the garden just opened up where the cabbage was and where the broccoli and spinach was. I think all these can be grown during colder months too, and guess what - in colder months bugs won't be such a problem.
we just weeded the garden again, finally got a day that wasn't scorching hot.

Garden is going good this year, hopefully we can maintain it year round!
