Happy Independence Day!! While we enjoy our cookouts and fireworks today, please remember that freedom is not free. Take a moment to pray for all of our active duty military personnel and our veterans and make sure to thank them for their service.
The onions were pulled up this morning and are now drying over hardware cloth in the garden. I am now beginning to think that I did not have an onion leaf disease, rather, the onion were finished growing and the tops were naturally dying. The onion harvest is at least two weeks early this year. The onion harvest seems to be about average this year. I have been harvesting cucumbers like crazy and will be pulling up the vines soon, as they are now starting to crowd out the pepper plants. Harvest has also started on the celery and banana peppers. The peas were pulled up about one week ago and in that space I planted bush green beans, which have just started to poke up through the soil. I will be starting seeds of broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower today for fall harvest. I have posted a new garden video to You Tube, made July 1st. You may view it below. Happy Summer Gardening!!

What will you do without cucumbers? Will you plant more?
Stefaneener,
Thanks for following my blog. I will not be planting anything in the spot that had cucumbers growing in it for now. In mid to late fall, I will be planting the top setting onions in that area. Until then the peppers will enjoy the extra growing room.
