How does your garden grow?

This is my kitchen garden. Before this photo, it was a jungle of overgrown and bitter leaf lettuce. I pulled it out, weeded and planted new leaf lettuce.

These lettuces got to stay:

My tomatoes are a jungle of activity. I should have cut back some suckers earlier, but was too busy.

I have lots of green cherry tomatoes – with our hot weather, they should be red, soon.

We are starting to harvest yellow and zucchini squash.

I had to be out of the house most of the morning because Mr C was spraying some dry wall texture in the basement bathroom. The new plumbing comes through there and so a quite large chunk of the wall had to be replaced. The stuff he sprays on it has a vile odor that lasts a long time.

Hopefully, I can get back down to the studio tomorrow.
