Garden is thriving after rain and milder weather

 Our garden is really growing now the the extreme heat has abated. We finally had to take the row cover off the squash because it was hovering off the ground so that insects could get underneath. Also, it was time to let the bees in to pollinate the flower. If this didn't happen, we wouldn't have any squash.

And our cucumbers are blooming nicely.

We are beginning to have more eggplants now. They aren't large enough to harvest, yet, but I think they will be before frost.

We are quite proud of our gourd tower. It looks better every day.

And our gourds are going to be larger than I expected.

Our line of sunflowers are particularly inspiring to us. It's hard to believe they grew so large in so short a time.

Pretty.

And bright.

The kale we covered with the row cover for protection. The greens are one of the things I am most excited about.
