The fruits and vegetables we’ve planted are really growing. We’ve had an unusually rainy July and the plants are enjoying it. My grapevine (Reliance Grape) which began its life three months ago as a little bareroot stick is absolutely thriving.
The cantaloupes are still babies. It hasn’t been blazingly hot, so their growth has been moderate. We’ll see what August holds for us. So far we have a lot of blooms but only three melons forming.
July is the best month for New York perennials. All my shrubs and flowers are finally blooming! My yard is a kalidescope of blues, pinks, yellows, and oranges.
More to come!
