One has to wonder what type of misogyny goes on in the garden when no-one is looking. The squash seeds we got this year were really mixed up. The patty-pan was a light colored zucchini. The spaghetti squash was mostly true, except for one plant. This plant is producing something that looks like a small watermelon and taste like a cucumber. It is not particularly good.
The first tomato is almost ready to pick. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will survive to turn red in the garden. There is a great temptation to pick it and put it on a window sill, but we are resisting the urge.
One day in the life of picking okra was skipped. The okra got 7” long. It was still tender however. The new planting of patty-pan squash is coming along well. The zucchini and the light zucchini are still producing strong, as is the yellow crookneck. The leaves on the yellow crookneck are looking sad. It does not look like the powdery mildew. It just looks tired and dry.
