_______By the time July rolls around, most of my garden is covered in weeds. I love to garden, but when the heat index is over 100, you won't find me outside doing anything. Now that the temps are back into the high 80s low 90s, I have once again ventured into my garden to see what is left. The eggplants are doing great; shown here are pictures of 'Casper', 'Black Beauty', and 'Thai Panda'. I made a delicious eggplant lasagna Saturday evening with several baby 'Casper' eggplants. The weird lobey pumpkin is a specialty squash that hails from New Zealand. 'Triamble' squash is reportedly one of the most delicious of all the squashes. I can't wait to eat it, but it is so beautiful that I don't want to. Other things that are still thriving in my garden but aren't pictured here are sun chokes, long handled dipper gourds, birdhouse gourds, Bolivian sun root, watermelons, and a papaya tree that I started from seed from a grocery store papaya. Over the next month, I'll slowly weed out my garden and add compost to get the garden ready for fall.
