Finally eggplants- only 2" long but will be ready for picking by the end of this week. This is the Rosa Bianca.
Melons are still few but growing-watermelon has tons of flowers with a few fruits possible heat is taking a toll.
Okra is starting to take off 2 more weeks and we shall be eating some!
Peppers, peppers and more peppers. Found whitefly damage to the leaves will need to spray with soapy water possible due to sunflowers?
Last but never least my garden guard dog. We left a bit early for the garden this morning than usual around 5am, parked the truck let her out got ready to start watering the citrus and i hear her barking! I go to look and she is heading back to me we had a homeless young kid maybe 20 to 25 sleeping in the garden. Ms Maggie did not care for that at all and let him know full Mohawk and growling all the time keeping her distance and by my side. I felt bad told him it was private property and he couldn't be sleeping out there, i can only imagine if one of the other gardeners found him, drama would occur. It is a nice safe place to sleep with water and veggies made me think we should be all thankful of all we have even though it seems like a burden at times. Glad he was "ok" and not some weirdo....but sad i hope he wanders thru life ok.
