Almost an inch of rain -- we'll take it!

After watering everything in yesterday morning, it rained both Sunday evening and Monday evening, for a total of almost an inch of rain. The garden is continuing to produce like crazy. The rain ended about 7:00, with enough time to harvest what has grown since yesterday. Tonight's salad will include freshly picked cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers.

I also installed five fence posts which will become Myrtice's new fence. All that remains is to install the actual fence material. The fence will serve as a trellis for the Ambrosia Melons that are now growing in Myrtice's garden.

Here is what was harvested today from the garden: Brandy Boy, Delicious, Orange Sungold, and Red Currant tomatoes, 4 more slicing cucumbers, bringing the total to 79, about a dozen or so of the smaller pickling cucumbers, sweet banana peppers, and purple and yellow beans.

Wow thats alot of fruit! I love fruit i eat all of those bannanas grapes and apples all day long! The reason i eat healthy is because i ride in my powerchair for extended periods of time. Why do you call it "The happy frog garden patch"?I'm sure a frog eould be happy in your garden but I have never seen a frog in your garden. But... A giant watermellon jumped in my lap as I was riding my brand new super sprinter 2000 power chair. It was heavy and really really rotten! It smelled like Mrs. Schmidt so bad that all of those happy frogs you think were there. Well... They are not happy anymore thats why i named that watermellon Rita! Now... You should prob change the name to mad frog garden patch that would suit their feelings better! Have a nice day and dont forget to pee on the cukes they need a good watering!
