Mini Garden Update

I was just so excited to see that the green bean plant is finally flowering. Oh I am so relieved. I was so worried that the over watering had really damaged the roots. Plants are really resilient though. I started to just water it every other day, didn't water it on days it rained, and only watered it enough to get the surface thouroughly wet. I guess it worked.

First flowers.

More flowers.

I don't think I pictured the Bush Pickle cucumber the other day. Here it is, doing so pitifully. I don't know if it will recover from all the mildew it developed on many of it's leaves. Like I mentioned before, this has been one wet summer.

My husband was worried that I was not keeping on top of the harvesting of our peppers. After looking up info on our plants again, I was right, they are not ready to be harvested. I guess it's not a well know fact, that you get red bell peppers from green bell pepper. Once this Karma Bell reaches it's mature size of 4"-6"inches in length, you can harvest it, or wait till it ripens to a red. I actually prefer red bell peppers, they are sweeter to me. As in many of his videos, John Koler, says to grow what you like to eat and grow what's expensive. So that's what I'm doing. Red, Orange, & Yellow Bell peppers are so expensive, so I am choosing to wait on these to ripen.

The eggplant just blooming away. I love the pretty purple flowers.

I was tickled to find that these two cucumbers are so close to eachother. It'll be interesting to see how they grow like this.

I don't think I covered this previously either. How you identify a Squash Vine Borer infestation.
At the trunk you can see green & yelowish sawdust looking mounds. It look mushy and pasty. Your plant will then begin to wilt, then die. The Vine Borer does just that...bore through the trunk of your plant. I ain't getting it out, it can stay or hubby will just have to get rid of it.

So sad this part look healthy despite of...

Vine borer sawdust.
