Last days of gardening

It is always a sad time when our summer gardening days are just about over.

Right now we only have tomatoes and cucumbers left.  Oh and the watermelon growing in the compost bin.

I still walk out every morning to see what new growth has come although it is all slowing down drastically!

God has blessed us this season of gardening with lots of beans, a TON of lettuce, bookoos of cucumbers and more tomatoes than we have ever had!!!!!

Speaking of tomatoes......Arthur the tomato eating dog is back! And although he is blind this summer it is not stopping him from finding those sweet 'mators.   

This summer he is loving the Roma tomatoes.  Last summer it was the little cherry tomatoes....you can read about that HERE . 

He may be blind, but that sniffer still works!

So as summer moves along and the days are hotter our last days of gardening grow near.  Plus with us moving we really have no choice.  More on that next week!



The whole enchilada!


 Tomatoes-Cherokee Purple, La Roma II Red and Brandywine

Cucumbers-a few to pick today and more to come!


And the compost watermelons! These are far from ready.  Maybe the next homeowner will enjoy them late summer :)



Are you down to your last days of gardening for the season?

I am looking forward to your post sharing the things you are facing. I have taken your encouragement to keep trusting the Lord as my strength, as we too are dealing with something's, that is concerning our oldest child, our 19 yr old daughter. We have been dealing with some troubling issues for a year and half and now facing new changes and challenges. God is conforming for good. I must stay strong and of good courage. No giving up now! It is so funny how the watermelons did not give up! Even after being tossed in the compost! I love it! I will be a watermelon, growing no matter what, not giving up! Smiles, Angelia in Tx
