As you can see there are still several things growing in the garden. It seems like just as some plants have finally made their way through their growing cycle others are getting a second wind. Usually, the strawberry foliage stays until it gets very cold, but we don't really get more strawberries. This year however, we have some putting forth a handful of strawberries every so often. It is a very rewarding surprise for the kids as freshly picked always tastes so much better!
Our cilantro has went to seed, but our thyme keeps spreading and our basil is growing so well! I need to pick it again and make some more pesto. We have been able to make several batches of pesto from the basil and other herbs. I love the lemon thyme and think that I am going to try and dry some of the herbs soon and see how that goes. I will update and let everyone know.
Our green pepper plant has just exploded. We had been able to get a few peppers here and there previously, but now it has a lot growing. I am hoping that they can get to a decent size before the coolness of fall comes around. We are excited because everyone in the house loves green peppers and I use them in cooking a lot. This may be the plant that I bring in and try to grow in the dining room over the winter.
We have one last little pumpkin growing that is about ready to be harvested. Once it is harvested then we will pull up the pumpkin vine, the beans in that area, and cut back the grapevine. This to me signals that beginning of the end of the spring/summer garden.
If you still have things growing in the garden feel free to share with us below in the comments.
Happy Gardening Everyone!
