Tiny Garden, July 13
Thanks to everyone who has joined the Knitter’s Pride Neckwear KAL! Reminder that ALL my neckwear patterns are 25% off until July 31 using the Ravelry coupon neckwearKAL15!
It’s been awhile since my last garden update, though if you follow me on Instagram there are lots of updates there. Our zucchini plant started out so strong…
We were so excited to harvest the first zucchini I’ve ever grown in a container!
But then of course, a critter dive-bombed into the (completely enclosed! even the top!) container and mucked around, knocking off flowers and taking bites out of zucchini :( So sad. I think there’ll be more, but geez, what more can we do to keep them out? I’m thinking Sriracha along the railing…
The cucumber is doing well and we’ve had 2 so far.
The tomatoes are going BONKERS! I can’t wait! One of the plants looks a bit poorly, but it still has green and fruit on top, so we’ll just have to see what happens.
The tomatoes are so tall, they’re a great screen from the street while we’re on the porch, ha. The peas need to come out, but I’m not sure what to plant in their place. Beans? More chard? Hmmm.

Tiny Garden, June 12
It’s not so tiny any more! Things grow so fast at this stage.
The peas look great! I hope they don’t ALL mature while we’re away on vacation, but on the plus side at least my cousin will have something to harvest when she comes over to water?
Beans (green and purple), zucchini, eggplant.
Maybe we’ll finally get some edible sized cucumbers this year?
The flowers got a bit knocked around in the storms this week – mostly the carnations since they’re pretty exposed, and on long stems. The flower boxes of marigolds and petunias still look great, they have filled in so much!

Have a great weekend!
