Squish Squash...

...I'm talking Bout My Squash!

A Closer look at the Squash Growing!

ABOVE,I've planted 2 different Pumpkin (bottom left), 2 Butternut Squash (middle two), and top right, 3 Sugar Baby Watermelon, a small 12 inch (30cm) round watermelon, relatively seedless.

They all get the same water, same sun, and same soil, for starters. Not sure why some are growing faster than others... who knows?

Above: Some Golden Sweet Peas, about to get harvested. My problem is, I picked a big bowl of them... and ate them, while outside today., watering the rest of the plants.

I spent about an hour, tying up and building up my trellis for the tomato plants. Definitely good to do, as there's a small storm coming tonight. Moderate winds, and some rains, and might as well get the plants all secured before they snap!

There's a few days of some decent weather ahead of this storm, with light winds, moderate rains and partly cloudy days. That may sound troublesome, but for growing a garden? THAT'S nirvana! No watering for me, no worries about heat and drying, and no nasty winds. Perfect for plants.

Above: Cherokee Purple Tomato, coming soon. These are relatively big purple/red tomato that are sweet and I make a fantastic sauce with.
Below: San Marzano Plum style tomato. Good for sauces, and also for Caprése Salad. Fresh, easy slicing, and perfect for snacking.

Above: Brandywine. A large yellow and red striped tomato. New for me to grow... we shall see! I see lot's of blossom, and lots of small tomato on the vines.

Gardening To DO:

tie up even more tomato, finish trellis
weed more between onions, perhaps begin to cull some onion and thin the plantings.
thin carrot, too

LOTS More to come, from my GroVid22 Gardens!
