The Iraqi cucumbers are finally starting to grow. Filipino pole beans are getting close. So are the purple hulls. Silks on the sweet corn are turning. There are a few little melons on the long striped melons. Peppers on the Serrano chili's. Little tomatoes on some of the later transplants. This one looks like a Roma.

My wife canned 30 pints of green beans from our garden, but they are about done now. It is so hot and dry here everything else is beginning to suffer. She ended up combining the peas, limas, corn, and carrots to make 12 pints of mixed veggies

My green beans are on the way out too. Each picking is less than the one before it. Never having grown the Filipino pole beans before, I don't know how long to expect them to bear. But as they used to say on Hee Haw, as big as they are, it won't take many of them to make a dozen.

Finished planting the garden on Saturday. 13 tomato plants, finished row with carrots and oakra. A row of green beans 3 rows of corn, 4 hills each of zucchini and yellow squash then 2 hills of cucumbers. Still have room for pumpkin and watermelon. Only used about 2/3 of garden. So next dry spell I'll add some more green beans and corn.

I wish I had planted more green beans. I'm sure going to miss them when they are gone. I'm going to have to cut up more ground just to get in my 2nd planting of peas.

The little gourds are coming along nicely. But the only store bought seeds were the birdhouse gourds. Both the snake and the dipper gourds were saved seeds. And from the looks of them, there might have been some unintended crossbreeding. A couple more weeks will tell.

Yesterday's storm knocked down more sweet corn, and sanded the Iraqi cucumbers. {It looks like another storm is on the way now} I did the best I could with the cukes, but a few vines broke while I was trying to clean them off. I also tied two rows of tomatoes a little higher.
