Farmer Mom


What is that, you may ask? Well, it's my first cucumber growing in my garden. I didn't plant until the end of May so I am getting a late start, but there are about 20 cucumbers currently growing on my vines. I also have the first few zucchini growing, and I should see the first tomatoes any day now. My herb garden is yielding sweet basil and oregano.

I lost my cilantro and sage to the 100 degree heat and had no luck with green onions or peppers. I have been told that some varieties of hot peppers do great here so next year I will try those and I will be moving the rest of my herb garden indoors to the Florida room just as soon as I figure out how to keep the cats from eating the plants.
