Garden Update: July

How does my garden grow these days?  Not so great actually!!  Yes, it's green enough, but my tomatoes and peppers have been stunted.  I'm not completely sure why, but I suspect it may be related to the scorching heat we had for several weeks.  With the recent rains (6" to 10" over Fourth of July weekend!) and milder temperatures, things seem to be growing again.  Here's an updated picture.

Zucchini towards the back, tomatoes and peppers toward the foreground (with marigolds, obviously)


Figured I'd better snap a picture of a cherry tomato while I had the chance.  I haven't had many this year, and this one was so red and pretty, it didn't even make it into the kitchen - I ate it right off the vine!
