July 19: Everything growing so fast in heatwave!

90 degree F temperatures all week.  Watering everyday to keep up with the evaporation!  But the result is amazing growth.  In the ten days since I last blogged,, so much has happened!
First of all, we weeded and freshly woodchipped most of the paths and the fruit beds.
Here's the path by the tomato plants, which now have small green tomatoes!

Also managed finally to get the area around the asparagus weeded and the asparagus corralled with a rope fence so that it doesn't hang all over the ground.   And got a trellis built for the cucumbers, just in time, as their vines are growing wildly longer each day--the first cucumber was 3 in log yesterday, 5 inches today!  At that rate, it will be ready to pick in 2 more days! 

 

                                                                             

The carrots and zuchinis are growing rapidly too.  A week ago I saw the first tiny zuchini, and now look at the too-big zuchinis that I picked yesterday and today!   BEans are going gangbusters too.  I've picked 10 pounds of beans--most are already in the freezer!
