Garden Tuesday

We had a storm last night. In light of all the other storms that hit other areas this one was mild but for me not so much. I am not as bad as the dog who hides under the desk and breathes so heavily he makes the house stink..... but I don't like storms, unless I can crawl in my bed and have covers to throw over my head at every lightening strike. Yes, I know that sounds like the dog but I've managed to keep my breathing fairly normal. 

The kids lost power early in the storm and when it wasn't fixed as they were told it would be, took refuge with us last night.

 Everyone's safe and sound, *sigh*.

Even though the entire bed flooded, my broccoli was the only thing left battered looking. I'll prop it up and it should be fine.

My last surviving zucchini plant is fine along with the three zucchini I hope to harvest tomorrow. They are not as big as they look. Wonky perspective.

My lovely eggplant, the tallest plant in the garden, fared well, which makes me happy, these things are yummy!

A Little Harvest

A few of the things my garden gave me this weekend. 

Not shown because they were eaten.... a few more tomatoes, a banana pepper, and about six hot peppers.

 Annoying me again are the nasty vine borers. They managed to wipe out most of my pumpkin plants (the ones with the pumpkins growing of course) and three more zucchini plants. I didn't realize it was happening until it was too late. It was a busy week like that. I managed to dig out one from a zucchini plant, maybe that plant will survive. They are gross bugs. 

I may reseed since it is early in the season.

This guy enjoyed checking out the baby pumpkins.

 I thought I might as well bring them in and enjoy them for a bit....
