Driveway Veggies Update: The Second Week Of July

That heat we got over the weekend of the 4th kicked the veggies into high gear. I think every single one of the tomatoes has fruit now. And there's baby cucumbers comin'. I picked three little ones last night for dinner. So fun.

Check out the corn! I don't know if we'll get any with only 8 plants, but they sure are growin' good.

The tomatoes are goin' nuts. That biggest one up against the gate is a cherry.

Aren't the baby cucumbers so cute?

I took a picture of the watermelon that's planted between the arborvitae. I don't know, it's not lookin' very promising. He's still so tiny.

The rhubarb, on the other hand, is huuuge. And I've already picked a ton of it. I gave him some steer manure a couple weeks ago. They LOVE it. I swear you could watch them grow when you scratch it in around the base.

I bought a second plant and put him in a couple weeks ago in the parking strip next to the other one. Look how cute he is. My goal is to have enough to freeze some.

And that's it for the edibles this week. Hopefully my next veggie post will be a harvest of something!
I'll get a good picture of the makeshift raised bed, too.
That sucker is overflowing.
