Wordless Wednesday: Stages of Summer

The summer garden doesn’t happen all at once, there are stages of summer. Some crops are just getting started, while others are finishing up. We celebrate the impatience and anticipation of the summer garden in pictures this week.

Stages of Summer – Anticipation

Our watermelon seeds have sprouted. If you missed our video on how to grow them in small spaces, check it out here.
Our sweet and hot peppers are starting to flower
This is a different variety of dragon fruit that is starting to flower. It’s called S8 – Sugardragon. Thanks to Rishi Kumar at Sarvodaya Institute for giving me a cutting! This is the first year we’re seeing flowers – very exciting!
It’s time for clothespins on the corn when the silks emerge. This prevents corn worms from getting inside. Watch our video about this technique here.
Volunteer tomatoes will be tasty and rewarding this summer. We love it when they sprout up randomly. They product tons of fruit!

We don’t remember planting delphinium seeds, yet here they are. LOL!

Get excited about the first signs of fruit as well as the harvest. No matter what stage of summer your garden is in right now, enjoy the process. Gardening is about the journey, not the destination.
