Things are growing as well as can be, considering the higher than normal temperatures. Tomato plants now loaded with blossoms because the temperatures now dropped to a level more suitable for blossom development. Green beans are producing prolifically. I have been eating them straight from the plant because they taste so good. Already planning next year’s garden. Maybe I’ll try potatoes.

They are one of the easiest things to grow, and you can usually find the purple ones.
This season I was only doing one bed of them, 8x4’ so I just threw them in whole as I could only comfortably space 12 plants in there. I dug some earlier and they were looking good as ‘new potatoes’ but I’m letting them grow larger for now. Probably two more weeks for me before harvest.
It may seem silly, but growing potatoes is SO satisfying; digging up those hills is like panning for GOLD! :)
