8/20/22 Sunflowers turning their heads down. Chamomile slowing down. Fern leaf dill very productive.

 One volunteer sunflower that I let grow in garden bed is really tall. Taller than the ones I planted behind the west garden beds and front circle bed. Volunteer squash growing in patio bed.










Tomatoes are growing really well in patio garden, along with a few lemon gem marigolds, basil, beets and carrots. Tomato hoops work pretty well. We picked these ones up from someone throwing them away. Asparagus is growing so bushy that no weeds dare to grow in that bed. New Zealand spinach leaves are bigger in this shaded area. Alyssum, blackberries, and grandpa's rhubarb growing well.









Sunflowers are starting to turn their heads down. Strawberries are sending out a lot of runners. Rabbit ate most of the newly planted pea and bean plants. Pinwheels didn't keep them away. Broccoli plants are really tall with small flowers. Next year I would prefer dwarf broccoli if such a thing exists. Raspberries filling in and have a lot of blossoms and green raspberries. Still only getting a few here and there. I mostly eat them as fast as I pick them.











Tomatillos, tomato, ground cherries, chamomile, tai pepper, lots of dill from one fern leaf dill plant which was planted behind west garden bed. Tomatillos are easy to harvest. When they are ripe they fall to the ground just like ground cherries. I wish ground cherries would produce more. Cooked and froze a bunch of Kale.
