Pictures of my garden June 9, 2023.

(Left)View over the top of the Cucumber trellis. Have 2 Beit Alpha cucumbers, Artist and Diva. Parthenicarpic. I do not need to open the top on the trellis to pollinate! (Right) I harvested the Garlic today. It might be a little early, but I need the room for Shishito peppers.

(Left) Neighbor put in a new wall which reflects a lot of sun back at the garden. Very hot! So, I planted a wall of Pole beans. Placed irrigation at the bottom. I am hoping that this will cut down on some of the reflection and heat and, of course, provide some beans! (Helda and Yellow someting or other, both Romano types. ) (Right) String suspended tomatoes.

Determinate ultra early tomato variety "42" loaded with small tomatoes and blossoms!
