Garden of Logan

After 2 years of not having a garden Emily and I decided we were going to do one this year. Both of our upstairs neighbors decided they did not want to do one this year, so we had a lot of extra space so we invited several couples to join us. Andrew and Kristi wanted to do a joint garden so we decided what we wanted to grow and we planted. We planted peas, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, huckleberries and cucumbers. Our pea plants were the first to shine but as soon as the really hot weather hit they didn't last long (we waited too long to plant those) we did however get a couple of hand fulls. The peas we got tasted great!!! I am starting to think we might have planted our cantaloupe and watermelon a little too late, but we do have some good looking flowers on each so we might end up with bite sized melons! We also ran into a huge problem with our cucumbers. we had several plants at the beginning and they looked wonderful but slowly they all began to get a white film on them and then they would die. It was really disappointing we went from having seven plants to two. One of the plants is really small and the other is doing well. The picture at the top is a picture of the flowers on our good cucumber plant. Now I do have to brag about our tomatoes, peppers and huckleberries. we have five regular tomato plants and they all are doing well. We also have 3 cherry tomato plants that just keep producing tomatoes, I have already picked about a dozen cherry tomatoes and there is no end in sight. We are both really proud of our tomatoes and we










are both really glad that Andrew and Kristi are helping us with the garden. I don't think I could eat that many tomatoes on my own. We have already picked several hand fulls of peppers, we planted Anaheim and Golden bells. We're still waiting for the golden bells to go golden and they seem to be getting the largest. The other night we had kabobs for dinner and we got to use some Anaheim's on them. They were really good!!! We're still waiting for the huckleberries to ripen...a good lesson we learned is that you're not supposed to eat them before they are ripe. Even if they are are black it still doesn't mean they're ripe, they kind of taste like peppers but with a really weird after taste. YUCK!!!
