I had high hopes for my pineapple but it is no more. Apparently the abundance of rain was too much for the plant and the pineapple turned yellow. I was going to leave it for a while longer but the pineapple smell was strong. I will try to cut it open tomorrow and see if we can eat what is there.
Until next time….
Some photos found and remastered. Originally taken in New York in the winter 2011.
Persian Lime is growing well. No flowers at this time but we are hopeful for the upcoming year.
Grapes are ripening. This year we are making an effort to enjoy them before they go bad. A visit to the garden every couple of days gives us a snack of Muscadine grapes.
The pineapple grows slowly but it gets larger. I can’t wait until it is ready.
Some old friends are still in the garden and some new have recently joined. This is what is enduring the August heat for now….
New Citronella plant and marigold. Trying something new to fend off mosquitos.
It was time for some thyme to be added back to the garden. Purchased a thyme plant so we had fresh herbs on hand.
Summer crop of pinto beans sprouting while the garden waits for fall crops.
Spinach is still doing well. Now that the squash is removed it has room to grow.
Tomato seedlings preparing for the fall.
Now that the squash is gone, the collards have room to thrive. They do love those semi-shady days though.
Needed some fresh basil so I put another store bought plant in the garden.
These chives keep on kicking year after year. This is their best year yet. Can’t wait to throw them in various recipes.
We have a few of these sickly kale plants spread throughout the garden. I can’t seem to pull them out yet though. Part of me thinks they will beat the heat and the bugs.
