went out to the veggie garden the other afternoon to see how everything was doing… it had been a much cooler day…

I’ve been spending most of my time in the house in front of the tv…

discovered that a stalk on one of the tomatoes had bent right over, I think from the wind…

I found a stick, put it in alongside the injured stem and then tied a nylon strip (from pantyhose) to the stick in a few spots…

I am hopeful that it will recover because there are two nice looking tomatoes on it…

fingers crossed…

all of the rain has made some of the veggie garden plants quite happy…

the tomatoes are doing well and growing bigger each day…

the peapods are filling out rather nicely and I had my first peas… from just one pod, lol…

the beans are growing up the arch but don’t have any flowers yet and the cucumbers are very slow in flowering…

I think that I may need to plant more beans and even cucumbers… sadly the butternut squash seed did not produce…

and, finally the basil has started to fill the pot;-)…

ordered a second arch a week or so ago when I noticed it was on sale for half price…

it arrived a few days ago and sat there staring at me, lol…

Wednesday afternoon, as the weather was nice, I finally spent the time to put it together… feel like a pro now, after the springtime attempt to put it together;-)…

my grandson managed to set it in place right next to the other one…

next year I will focus on beans, cucumbers, and peas, as well as a ton of morning glories to grow right over it;-)…

between the bits of rain yesterday, I went out and picked the last of the beans…

well, I think it was the last of them… I’ve thought that a few times, lol…

cut them and boiled them up for supper… they were delicious, even if they were a little on the overgrown side…

arch…

on Saturday I took a photo of the veggie garden arch…

I’ve taken lots, but haven’t felt they were just right…

finally I figured out that I should take one from the front yard, lol…

looks pretty… maybe next year I won’t have the beans growing across the top, where I can’t reach them, lol…
