It's already the middle of August and so many things happened in our garden that I haven't written about.
This month we are picking tomatoes. The first tomatoes we planted were seeds from old varieties. They became tall plants, but their flowers withered and never produced fruit. Only our hybrid bed produced fruit.
We also have cherry tomatoes which are very aromatic.
This season we have a lot of cucumbers, which are terribly tasty and crunchy. We have planted hybrid varieties of cucumbers and an old variety - Crocodile.
The okra plants got so tall! I planted two types of okra - traditional and red okra. The traditional one grew tall and we regularly harvest from it, while the red okra was attacked by insects at the beginning of growth and dried up.
At the beginning of the month we harvested the corn. It was delicious. We also have corn for popcorn, but it needs to dry before we can harvest it.
We have planted one bed with cambi and one bed with peppers. They are already well formed, but they are green. We look forward to them turning red.
This year we have eggplant. Between the plants I planted the marigold plant. There was also savory, which we had already collected to dry for seasoning. Despite the good coexistence of these plants with Eggplant, not all plants bear fruit. Some are attacked by enemies and their fruits fall before they even form.
We also have some watermelons. They are still small and we are eagerly waiting for them to mature.
We also have melons that we are already picking. They are not large, but they are very tasty.
We continue to harvest zucchini that bear fruit since the beginning of May. We have also planted new plants that are yet to bear fruit.
