August has been a great garden month with HOT temperatures every day and little rain. The garden is finally benefiting and flourishing. Check out a few harvesting efforts with my special little helper, grandson Cotton. Also note the mystery squash plant that suddenly grew fast after I added the compost to the asparagus bed from the bin near the back door that gets the winter's kitchen scraps. The morning glory that self seeded from last year now fully covers the garden trellis, the dahlias are in full bloom and some herbs have now been harvested and are drying in the garage thanks to son, Julian. Lastly, note the new view of the front door and new porch with the final view from the inside looking out. The evergreen tree next to the door has now been removed to open the view.
The first tomatoes have arrived, the zucchini is a steady item and the green and yellow beans seem endless. Three bean salad and simple steamed beans coated in lemon juice and olive oil are regularly served now. The first carrots and beets have made it to the dining table. Many, many green peppers, hot peppers, cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant and broccoli are forming nicely. The jury is still out on the quality of the tomato and cucumber harvest, but I am now more hopeful.

I like the new 'looking out' view. Better to see the driveway. Were you able to move the tree, or is it firewood?
