My Little Garden in August and Corn

 I can not believe we are in August.

I am very pleased with my mini crop of "Bi-Licious" sweet corn.

Burpee seeds

I did get a few cobs that had some undeveloped kernels.  Need to help out with the pollination on the next bunch.

A batch of corn fritters.  

A nice bunch of basil that was used to make pesto.  A favorite thing to make in summer and it freezes well too.

Heirloom Stupice tomatoes (Renee's Garden seeds), are starting to ripen.  A favorite of ours to grow and they are great to roast in the oven and freeze for later or add the roasted tomatoes to pasta for a quick meal. 

Now, these were supposed to be RomaVF tomatoes according to the seed packet.  They do not look like Roma tomatoes to me and they were a  container variety too, LOL!   I'm not complaining but I cant wait for them to ripen. 

 

 Dancing Girls zinnias

Burpee seeds

I love the compact growth and so many blooms.  This is one plant too.

Queen Lime Orange zinnia

A new favorite 

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I hope to start sowing for fall in a few weeks.

Blessings!
