I went an picked my first handful of lemon balm leaves from the bush that keep doubling and tripling in size in my garden and brewed a spot of tea. The leaves smelled great, however, the tea is much weaker than the scent. Need to work on that I suppose.
I had a peak at the neighbor's garden today and noticed his tomatoes have little green tomatoes hanging off them and his zucchini already have the beginnings of vegetables visible. Me? Nada. I have a few flowers on my tomatoes and a couple giant flowers on the zucchini, but NO veggies yet. Sigh.....
I moved a bunch of flowers and cucumbers around yesterday too. The cosmic oranges were growing really well, but was being over taken by the raspberry bush, lemon balm and zucchini. I put most in front of the house where nothing is coming up, or is at least very small. I move a couple more cukes over to the fence away from the two watermelon that have decided they would grow.
Carrots are at least LOOKING like they will make a meal this year. The leaves are getting tall and thicker than they were at the end of last summer's crop.
