Parasaurolophus

The zucchini has flowered, and the corn has tassels.
I know it's a genus.

My wildflower garden is attracting lots of bees, butterflies, and yellow finches — a lovely distraction from work!

Was the corn knee-high by...you know...??

I finally have tomatoes!  Let the feasting begin!

Me too!  And some lunchbox peppers and enough beans for dinner! Most things will really ripen when we are away on vacation, but I hope neighbors will eat well.

Students planted lemongrass and ginger. I'd like to have rows and rows of it, but for now we just have a few plants.

My tomato plants are turning yellow because of all the rain. Rabbits have munched the tops of my carrot plants. Insects are eating my Swiss chard and basil. It has not been a good year for vegetables. I do have a huge crop of Thai chili peppers though.
It's terrible writing, used to obfuscate the fact that the authors actually have nothing to say.

Parasaurolophus

I've got a few ears of corn and more silking, many zucchinis, some snow peas, still more kale than I know what to do with, a few chives, and the patipans are starting.
I know it's a genus.

Many jars of yummie tomato sauce and dehydrated tomatoes despite blight. 3 lunchbox pepper plants that are prolific and sweet. Basil looks like a small shrub. Tiny grape arbor produced pretty well despite spotted lantern fly presence. Just planted a little lettuce for the fall. Kale is out of control.  It hasn't been an outstanding season, but decent enough. On the bright side, we've had so much rain that I've only had to water 3 times since May despite everything in containers.

How's it going for others?

I'll be harvesting the corn today.

Do you rent a John Deere tractor, or just walk around for a bit?

Likewise with the tomatoes -- the plants don't look great with the blight but are still producing a ton. Some tomatoes are splitting from all the moisture. Basil has grown into a forrest. I really need to make a can tomato sauce and make and freeze pesto but I was out of town last weekend and am running an orientation program all weekend.

And let's not even talk about the lawn mowing. . .
