The Golden D Homestead Li'L Garden Tour
This is a garden journal challenge by @simplymike, and while it's the third one they have had, it is the first I have entered and made a post about.
I know usually I'll show tons of images of my herb garden and different herbs, which I only have the oregano mixed in on this post, but I wanted to share some other events and gardening updates that have been happening here. We've had some horrendous heat and humidity here for the last two or so weeks, and I have been watching carefully to make sure no herbs, flowers and vegetables dehydrate or suffer. I am outside as soon as Mr Golden D leaves for work (5:30AM) as the sun starts to rise over the horizon; as I want to make sure the plants get all the water they can before the heat hits and the water evaporates.
So let's get started...
Last month I had wanted to start a new way of gardening; and so the Bottomless Bucket Ground Garden was born. In this post I showed an image of the zucchini bottomless buckets and today I share with you the growth from one of the zucchini plants. YES! I have zucchini!
Day-lily for a splash of color in the herb garden and my feverfew for medicinal uses: dehydrated flowers and leaves for tea and fresh flowers and leaves for tinctures.
The Kentucky Wonder beans will be getting a first picking this week as I have enough to sautee with some onions and garlic now. The Hungarian Peppers are coming along quite nice; I guess they are lovin' the heat and humidity we've had here recently.
One of my numerous sunflower varieties I planted in the front herb garden; and my AWESOME Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucumber. I can't wait for these to be harvested! This is my first time growing this variety and since I've had bad luck in the past with my cucumber growing abilities; to see this little guy has me excited.
