I am excited and happy to report that my garden is growing beautifully (as are the weeds) in this New Jersey weather we're having. It seems to be thriving in the hot and humid conditions, save for the powdery mildew that has appeared on my squash. I am about to spray it with 3 parts skim milk and 9 parts water. This is the "cure" for powdery mildew. Better to use skim to avoid other pest problems with the high fat in 2% and full strength. Anyway, back to garden bragging. Here are some photos of a few things going great guns out there.
So, if you've been wondering what I've been doing in my spare time, it seems weeding is absolutely on the top of my list these days. Hope you're gardens look great too!
Wow, what an abundance of beautiful vegetables. I guess I know what will be for dinner in the month to come.

An edible forest! I think next year I will cultivate our little plot with some veggies. You inspire me!

Strawberries in late July? Everything looks great!

Lynn, those are Alpine strawberries, and they have berries all summer long. They're small and taste like a combination of raspberry/strawberry.
