Summer's Here: Zucchini Plants are Flourishing

Here we are, summer's officially here and my Zucchini patch needs serious weeding, but nevermind that--from the fantastic soil and temperatures in the 90's, and of course, the early morning and late evening soakings, the zukes have taken off.

Yesterday, I made a YouTube post, well, I made two separate videos showing the difference between summer squash growth in soil with less organic matter compared to the zucchini being grown in nutrient rich soil.

If you want to see the video, go to greenatlmom on YouTube and that's where you'll find me.

Okra Update

After a few days of rain, the newer okra seeds that I planted are up and are ready for takeoff. The rain and sunshine mix is nice, now I need to make sure they're fed some compost or compost tea. Gotta get those nutrients in the soil and grow strong roots.

It's become more readily apparent that we need to be growing our own food and growing more things organically.

The Future

Future home to the tomato and bell pepper plants. I'm pretty proud of the rock border since I collected them while clearing out my yard.

If you follow my YouTube channel at greenatlmom, you'll see a few videos about the yard clearing and my progress. It's slow and steady, but I'm getting it done.

Well, I really don't have anything else to say, but keep growing!
