You Reap What You Sow

The garden is doing well despite the extremely high heat and all of the rain that we have had in recent weeks.
Got some tomatoes on the vine. Just waiting for them to ripen up.
Potatoes are about a month away before digging them up.
I did dig up one batch of Northern Red potatoes just to see how that did and it wasn't a bad batch that I came up with. Most of what is still growing is Yukon Gold potatoes. I will take photos when I harvest those.
Corn is doing well. I have already picked several ears of the early corn and even froze some for future consumption. We have one of those food Savers with bags and a vacuum system. The things works great and they always go on sale. Might want to check one out.
The sweet pepper plants are really getting big and most plants have peppers set on them.

 

Garden Update

Since my Dad's passing I have been very busy taking care of business. This morning I gave myself a break and went outside to see how my garden is doing. Lately we have had lots of rain, humidity and high temperatures. These factors have not hindered my garden from growing rather well, as you can see by the photos below:

Here are my sweet pepper plants. I started most of these from seeds inside our house

 Below are my 2 plots of corn

 Below are my tomato plants in the wired cage that I built

 Below are my potato plants that I am growing for Veronica. They are mainly Yukon Gold with a few Northern Red

My Dad loved gardening and I think he would have enjoyed the way my garden is turning out

The Passing Of My Dad

Veronica and I moved to the Virginia Beach area approximately 4 years ago. We made the move so that we could help take care of my Dad as he grew older.
Our Dad passed away on 4/21/18 after leaving his home to go to his Saturday dialysis appointment.
He passed away 2 days after we celebrated his 89th Birthday.
This house is awful quiet without him being here.
Dad...we love and miss you!
