Our garden is hitting its stride now that we are a couple of weeks into summer.
Squash plant is running. It was just a seedling when planted.
The squash blossoms are beautiful and edible but we don't often eat them.
Speaking of edible, nasturtium flowers and leaves are both edible. I like the leaves on salads because they have a peppery kick.
An apple on my Crimson Topaz tree 🙂 we are having a tough year with apple trees. I buy small, bare root trees which take a few years to start producing. Four of my trees out of nine planted over the last 3 years bloomed nicely and put on apples. Then the neighborhood deers wandered through and ate all the little apples they could reach and all the leaves/branches off the bottom part of the trees. One of my producing trees was small enough it was still inside deer fencing so its apples survived. Those plus a few apples up high on the other trees are all thats left 🙁
Zucchini are also thriving right now. Very similar blooms to squash. Have a great day 👍
