Would ya look at those melons??

No more tennis ball melons here - these cantaloupe are the real deal.


They're growing so well in the greenhouse. I think there are about 10 of them right now. 


The watermelon is getting huge, too. There's only one of these...it better be tasty because it sure was a lot of work to get it to grow!


Bags of basil ready for the stand. 


This is the edamame from last week. I haven't actually tasted it yet - it's in the freezer. Maybe I'll try steaming some tonight.


I still can't believe how well everything is growing. I love not having to buy any veggies!

Midsummer Greenhouse

Melons and winter squash are taking over!


Lots of cantaloupes now


I opted to use some netting instead of one of my bras...


These bell peppers are huge! I want them to ripen already...


We're getting 2 lbs of these gold nugget tomatoes a day


Cucumber plant right up to the roof


Grow bed #1 is full of giant tomatoes and cucumbers


And cayenne peppers!


I think it's time to make some more pesto...


Brussels sprouts - they're the strangest looking plants.


There's finally a watermelon growing!


Poor Ewean...the only one who has enough white on her face to really see the purple eye spray. Their eyes are all cleared up, though!


I'm off to go see if I can salvage any of the recently mowed back field clippings for hay. Right now it's all laying on the field and will be wasted...then we'll have to go buy a bunch of hay to feed the sheep over winter. It would be nice to dry and use some of our own. Possibly easier said than done since it's looking a bit cloudy out...
