Garden | August 2017

Our garden is a jungle right now!

I’m currently working on another post detailing everything I’m planning to do differently for next year’s garden, but I will say this right now:  this year’s garden was too small!  Those cute garden boxes we made?  They’re totally overgrown with plants!  I can hardly get in there to get the veggies out!

I’m really happy that everything grew so good this year.  We have a ton of yellow squash & tomatoes.  Our cucumbers didn’t do very well.  I think an animal got in the garden & tore up the vines a little.  We still managed to get 5 cucumbers, though!

As far as canning goes, I haven’t ventured into those waters yet.  I made refrigerator pickles with the cucumbers & a very small amount of pasta sauce with the tomatoes that wasn’t worth canning.
Our tomatoes & squash are still growing, so there will probably be a September garden update as well!
