A little bit of everything

It's been hot.
It's hard to gather the oomph to do messy work on the house, in the house, when it's this hot.

I planted 2 delicata squash plants. I got 2 delicata squashes (so far).

This is the only remaining fruit from the Cheese pumpkin experiment.
The vine climbed up the fence, keeping this one .. gourd? squash? away from nibbling faces.

Tomatos are coming along. Just noticed some blossom end rot on a few,
so I'll have to go grab some bone meal.

My beans did terribly. I think I over fertilized them. But there's new growth at the bottom,
so I cut off all the leggy tops and we'll see what happens.

"Lunchbox peppers" Truly a waste of time.
Barely bigger than a jalapeno, with nothing interesting about it except it's stunted.

The dill is blowing out, but everything else looks pretty happy.
I'm hopeful that this box can get moved to the basement or the shed
and I can rig a light for it over the winter.

Have some carrots going to seed. Never had that happen before.

Blue Jade Dwarf Sweet Corn. So cute! So pretty!
Such a lovely experiment I won't repeat because what a waste of precious garden space!

Dragonflies love my yard. Blue, green, black, and golden ones are not uncommon


At least I can grow cherry tomatoes.
I think these would grow anywhere, under just about any condition, to tell you the truth.

It is color picking time for the upstairs hallway.
The trim will stay white, the floor will stay hardwood (it's more reddish than this picture) and I'm going to have to get test cans, because this is a hard space - The are near the window is quite bright, but the stairwell is quite dark. nothing is going to look uniform.
I'm thinking the lightest versions of #3, 4, and 5 (from left to right.)
