I’ve got a few veggies still growing in the garden along with a basil plant. I’ll be harvesting the remaining Summer veggies today and then pulling the plants so I can put in a cover crop seed blend.
Other than the cover crop, I’m only growing radishes that should be ready to harvest before the frost. I was going to grow more lettuce and a couple of other Fall veggies, but my ankle sprain got in the way.
My ankle got worse and I ended up having to go to Urgent Care. The doctor put me in a walking cast for the week because I wouldn’t be able to work with crutches, not to mention trying to get to and from work from where I park would’ve been excruciating.
The Boyfriend and I went to Cleveland to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and I’m so thankful that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has free scooter rentals; otherwise, I doubt I would have been able to go, even with being in a walking cast.
I harvested about $30 worth of tomatoes from my garden yesterday! The Boyfriend and I made Caprese salad with a few of them, and they are the brightest red and tastiest tomatoes I’ve ever seen or eaten. I don’t know how I will return to store-bought tomatoes after the season is over.
I also cut a huge 15 lb. watermelon from the vine yesterday. We will probably be cutting and eating it today.
My tomato plant isn’t doing well, and I was reading that a lot of gardeners are having trouble, too. Apparently, even though tomatoes are heat-tolerant, it’s been too hot for too long, and tomatoes and other plants like green beans and peppers aren’t growing as much as they normally would and are taking much longer to ripen. I thought it was something I was doing wrong, and I’m glad to know that’s not the reason.
I’ve had the house to myself all weekend and didn’t have to work on Friday. I haven’t done much but binge shows on Netflix, play video games, read, and snuggle with my cats.
