A Lot To Share

I really need to get back to writing. I have so much to share with you guys. The garden is doing pretty good. So far, the annoying pest that was killing my veggies last year and the year before hasn't appeared. The greenhouse looks more like a jungle each day. I had to remove the huge squash plant from there, though, as it started blocking all the light. Outside, all veggies - zucchini, squash, cucamelons, chayote... - are growing slowly, but steady.

I had taken pics of the outside garden last week, but I already need to go out with my camera again, because things have changed so much in only one week time. It's high up on my to-do list, and I hope I can get a post out some time this weekend. According to the weather forecast, temperatures will be back to normal, so I will be able to move without feeling like I'm melting all the time.



Anyway... It's that time of the month again...

Welcome to the Hive Community Garden Journal Challenge, which encourages you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony updates with your the community and create your own garden journal.

Off course, this challenge is open for everyone who is growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, succulents or any other plants, indoors or outdoors.

If you haven’t joined before, feel free to start now. The more the merrier! There are plenty of people who are enjoying to see what's going on in other people's garden, farm or balcony.


(It's great to see the #gardenjournal tag being used by people throughout the month. Even though I haven't been around much, I try to follow up on all posts that use the tag, even outside of this monthly challenge.)

Just now on our "Balcony."

A storm blew thru here an hour ago, it brought the real feel down from 102°F / 38°C to about 81° / 27°

Sitting comfortably on our screened deck in the afternoon on a Caturday is a very rare thing this time of the year in Northern FLA. (USA)

And eight out of nine of our indoor cats, all in a 5 foot / 1.5 meter space, grazzin' together is even more of a rare site.

I really need to get back to writing again too. So much going on it is tough but some time wandering in the garden is good for the soul.

I will have to. Post up an update. Cucumbers are going nuts!

I am really glad to hear that you don't have any ants problems this year, they seemed to have given you a hard time in the past! I know that it is too late to enter but I'll just drop my link, in case someone wants to take a look. I hope you don't mind :)
