Cottage Vegetable Garden


After returning from a week at the cabin, we found our vegetable garden had exploded. We've had a garden for the past eight years but it has never looked like this in early July!
 It now looks more like it usually does mid-August. But trust me, I am not complaining.
I wonder why though? Less rain? Hot temperatures? On our  ride home just the other day, the temperature on my rear-view mirror said 111 degrees!
I like to think maybe the Gardening Gods are just shining down on us this year.


Here are all the vegetables/fruits we have planted. Sorry for going a little photo crazy, I just love my plants!
Corn


Cucumbers


Grape Tomatoes

Beefsteak Tomatoes

Bell Peppers

Cherry Peppers

Jalepeno Peppers

Squash

Basil

Eggplant

String Beans

Watermelon

How are your gardens growing? I hope you are enoying just as much success as we are this year.

I am a beginner and am learning by my mistakes and as I go.:) I have had good luck so far, but I think I need some tips on how to train my cucumber vines..mine are looking like a jungle!!

  7. You're going to have a wonderful harvest. My garden is going slow as we have had lots of rain, much cooler temperatures. I could get discouraged, but I love gardening.

  8. I just have to ask...If I had come home to my garden I would have found the weeds to be taller than the corn. So what is your secret?
    You have a beautiful garden. Enjoy the bounty.

  9. Thanks for sharing your bountiful veggie garden. You've helped me answer my question about this vine that's growing in my veggie garden also, which I couldn't remember what it was. I'm visiting from OW. Stop by when you get a chance...my corn stalks are growing like crazy too!

  11. Wonderful garden. The corn seems to be really tall here too for this time of year. They say "knee high by the 4th of July " and this year it is already at least 7 foot and silk is turning brown. Have a great day. Debbie
