North Texas Garden . Quick Update

                                         Squash, cukes, and zukes.  We ate three           zucchini last night, not in this photo.

This one color mixed squash...another one growing on this same plant.

Tomatoes and blossoms galore...just need more growing time

Cucumber vines from two plants. Harvested first 3 today. May 17

Tomatoes are outta control.!!!

Zuke and squash raised bed.

Cantaloupe wicking tub. Got a late start with this tub, but it's doing good.

Dang, it's been a WET SPRING, and our forecast is saying 3 more inches coming over the next 5-6 days.!! My plants love the rain....but need SUNSHINE.

I've been fighting some Powdery Mildew on a few squash plants, but I think I caught it early enough.  All these wet, overcast days don't help it though.

I'm really salivating waiting for a tomato sandwich.!!!!

 

Wicking garden. 56 days later.

 Survived 2 surprise freezes. Most recent was April 21 when it dropped to 28 degrees in my backyard that morning at daylight. The previous one wiped out nearly all my box garden tomatoes and 3-4 box garden zucchini. I had everything covered in plastic, but not well enough, apparently.
