July Garden Progress

We got back from vacation a few days ago to a veritable explosion of roses. They’re a few days past their prime now, but I was surprised at how many of them there were. Time for a bit of pruning I think.

The butternut squash plants are still growing and spilling out of the raised bed, but aren’t producing as many squashes as they were. I suppose as long as they’re still growing, I’ll leave them alone.

The jalapeno plants grew a ton over the last couple of weeks, and I spotted some pretty good size peppers on them.

I think the biggest grower over the past month has been the fig. There are two fig plants there and they’re kind of swamping the blackberries now. That’s a lot of progress from how they looked in late June. I’m thinking now that I might have put them a little too close to each other. Seemed like plenty of space when they were smaller.

There are figs too! They’re still pretty small, but it’s exciting to see them. They’re only on one plant though so far.
