Garden Diary - Aug 3



Not a lot of growth in my watermelon this past week, but it's been fairly rainy and cool. However, since I was away for five days, the growth in the rest of the garden seems tremendous - the decorative grass is taller and starting to bloom, the daylilly has multiple flowers every day, and as always, the mint is bigger than I ever thought possible. I harvested the biggest of the three cucumbers, and it was fantastic - sweeter and more melon-like than anything I've had from the grocery store. I added it, three radishes, some dinosaur kale, and a variety of the mixed greens to a can of sauerkraut, for a pretty interesting salad.
