Updates are difficult for me, so I'm making it my goal to at least
update once a week, even if it's a short update. So, first on the list
of things is the temperature for the week and the growing cucumbers. The
weather looks like it's going to be a bit cooler this week compared to
last week and the cucumbers are growing pretty well. There are so much
flowers and tiny little cucumbers. so cute!

The
green beans are growing like crazy compared to everything else I've
ever planted. This is the first time growing runner beans. I figure I
would try to have it run on our patio gate. They're growing in the same
pot that I've planted the lime trees and some marigold.

The lettuce is still growing great. I can't believe they haven't bolted yet. It's been really hot the past 2 weeks. I'm not quite sure the varieties, they were from a lettuce green mix.

Mustard
greens are so interesting. The colors and the taste. I took a bite, and
it tastes exactly like mustard!!, but not us strong. I love mustard!

The tomatoes went into my stew tonight. There was a split on one of them.

The zinnias are growing bright and cute. They're tiny little flowers, only about an inch and a half wide.

The zinnias I planted earlier this summer are starting to bloom. They don't really have a smell to them, but the have amazing color and are great for cut flowers! I'm hoping there will be more blooms when we have our housewarming party in a couple of weeks.
