June 28, 2009 A Few Days of Neglect

So we've been away for a few days. It was a long drive, but well worth the fun. I had a chance to meet a lot of really nice, gracious, and fun people. I now know more snail jokes, vermin stories, and puns than anyone this side of the Brandywine River! Cheers to everyone in Rochester, Montrose, and Washington County!

In the time we were away it was apparently the hottest and driest days of June so far, and everything in the garden showed it. The ground was cracked and all the flowers and herbs on the deck are either wilted or dead. But the vegetable garden looks like it survived!

Things to note:
1. Lots more zucchinis to pick
2. Even more peas are ready
3. A full size cucumber, plus a second not too far behind
4. The first green bean on the bush has grown
5. The first tomato is turning red
6. LOTS more tomatoes on the vine
7. The watermelons have tripled in size (not in the video)

Here's a video from when we got home:
