Tuesday another garden day

 Hi Everyone!

This morning in my garden it felt like fall. You know that change in the air?

I pulled all of my onions. For those of you who don't know when onions are ready to harvest the tops fall over.

Like this.

However, because of the weather I had onions bolt and the tops become very thick. I received my newsletter from the onion company that reported due to strange weather this year all over the country onions are taking a hit. It's ether too cold or too hot. Onions bolting and getting thick tops. Boy was I glad to get that email. So today I harvested all of my onions. They will have to cure for about 2 weeks.

Squash is still going strong. 

Cucs and pole beans 

Lots of cucs

	This plant is loaded with beans. A hummingbird comes every evening to pollinate.

 This is the beginnings of a cantaloupe. But, I don't think it will have time to mature.

Yellow and winter squash. Hopefully they will have time to produce.

This is what I brought into the house today.

 

I do have a cherry tomato plant but the wind has all but destroyed it.

 

 and not peppers this year either.

OK, with all the trouble growing this year. I am thankful for every little bit I get. 

 

Hope your garden in growing.

Monday Flowers

 Hi Everyone!

It was a very quiet weekend. I literally did nothing around the house. Our 2 days of 70°F weather ended with an atmospheric river day. We go so much rain our drive way flooded. The days have not warmed up since. 2 days of the high being 70° is NOT FLIPPING SUMMER. I really miss summers. It gets colder every year during the so called summer months. So for you that think my days have cooled down, they never got warm. 

This is part of Hwy 101 Oregon Coast

On a happy note, that long deep soaking of the ground got my Nasturtiums to come up and even bloom. I didn't think I would see any this year.

And over night these came up too. 

For my last batch of potatoes they are in bloom. Very good sign. 

 

String bean blooms

and look how tall they are. I have to add longer stakes.

Cucumber blooms there are 20 cucs that will be ready to harvest in the next few days. These are straight eights. Not pickling cucs. 

Ahh the shade got me on this photo. However, this is cantaloupe bloom. I'm sure they won't have time to make melons. Too cold here, but it is a pretty plant. I planted this 5 months ago.

I have been finding mushroom growing in my big garden. I think I did last year too. That's soil on top of it. Not sure if these are edible or not. So they get tossed.

That's it for now. I do hope your garden is growing.
