The weather has been cold and hot and cold and hot and no wonder they call this time of year “pneumonia weather”. The sun makes it’s appearance from time-to-time, not too much time mind-you, it wouldn’t want us to get spoiled to enjoying it. Last frost it still some weeks away, so up and down the temperatures will continue to go.
We have a couple things making their appearance in the garden. The onions and radishes are always eager to be the first to start the season.
Even though our small garden looks sparse and sad, we know it won’t be too many weeks until it’ll start looking more greener and hopefully promising a harvest of vegetables.
Have a wonderful rest of the week!

We had a busy Sunday morning. We went to the garden and harvested about 4 dozen ears of Peaches & Cream Sweet corn.
I noticed a bumblebee has taken a liking to my basil. I bet if it made honey, it’d be a mighty interesting flavor; sweet basil, cinnamon basil and lemon basil
My basil grew so tall that I had to transplant them into 5 gallon buckets. It’s interesting how much shorter the lemon basil is than the other two.
The mixed color carrots has mostly produced oodles of white carrots. I picked several carrots and had a few of other colors. The color ones have more of a carroty taste than the white ones. They all have an edge of hot taste like radishes.
The purple carrots were a fun surprise. They’re orange on the inside. I chuckled when I saw it. 😀
My husband noticed this weird looking ear of corn growing in the top of a tassel with 3 june bugs feeding on it. 
There’s several stalks with weird little corn ears growing high up on the stalks. We’ve never seen corn grow like this. The little ears don’t look fit to eat, so we’ll leave them for the critters.
We harvested a few ears of sweet corn to have for supper. Homegrown fresh corn on the cob is mighty tasty and a dandy of a way to top off the season.
My husband picked a few ears of the ornamental corn for me to take a photo of. The ornamental corn is maturing nicely and the kernels are getting really tough. We grew the ornamental corn mainly for the wildlife, but I plan to use some for crafts and also for decoration.
My garden is about all gone now. It’s a bittersweet joy to see the end of the season. We’re already planning for next years garden.
This will be the last harvest of such a mixed variety of veggies now that the main parts of the garden are done.
In the red container is my rosemary that I posted about earlier this season. I stopped using the netting because the wind kept knocking it over. Rosemary does great outdoors and uncovered. I discovered something about this rosemary. It doesn’t grow any larger than the container. I clip it, use it, it grows back to the same size.
