My usual Sunday routine is going to check on one or my gardens at my grandparent's house. Today as the rain poured, the vining plants tangled with one another and are blooming thick.
Here is the cucumber patch, growing with the pumpkin on a trellis and the trailing cushaw plants. At this point, the potatoes look like they're dying out. They were growing next to the cucumber patch. I hoed the potato mounds regularly, fertilized, mulched, and yet, they don't seem to act like they're going to make anything of themselves.
I have a tiny cucumber that will be ready to pick in a couple of days.
The bush brand are blooming and entangling with the gourd plants. I put one of the massive gourd plant up on a trellis as it is growing amongst the rows of beans.
On the other side are the rows of corn. The corn are growing alongside beans and squash; although it's growing densely, the Three Sister method growing style is supposed to be beneficial to the plants.
A small patch of cantaloupe is blooming in a nook amongst the beans.
While I analyzed my veggie garden, I took amusement in my grandma K's flower garden. She has revamped the flowers and gardens this year. She has created a very whimsical and fantastical flow of blooms from every edge or her yard.
