First zucc of the season, *finally* ๐๐ผ.
This babyโs of the Cocozelle variety, a striped green zucchini. My zucchini plants all had a rough start since they got mowed down by the Larry the groundhog, but Iโm hoping theyโll make a full recovery with a bit of love ๐ค๐ผ
This one will more than likely become delicious healthy zoodles๐

IG: My vintage laundry tub spaghetti squash is about the size of a small (oblong) grapefruit now ๐ As you can see, I mulched with straw and whenever I look at the squash it reminds me of a very special egg in a nest ๐ฅ (that continues to grow? lol). After this weekendโs intense heat wave, growth of everything seems to have accelerated tenfold. This also led to all my cool weather crops bolting and going to flower๐ to seed (my lettuce and remaining pak choy and spinach are basically done because of the heat) but the hot weather crops like cucumber, peppers and tomatoes are so happy!

IG: Urban gardening principle #1: get creative with containers! ๐ค Whether in a home, apartment or condo, if you have an outdoor space that gets a lot of sun, you can probably successfully grow something! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ Here is one of my most recent growing spots. I got creative here, maximizing otherwise unused space on the stairs and against the house with railing boxes, a panel of last yearโs chicken enclosure and 5 big pots. In this tiny area Iโm growing 5 cucumber plants, 7 tomato plants, 3 pepper plants, and multiple types of flowers tucked in. ๐ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ Itโs very possible to grow a lot in a small space if you โthink outside the boxโ and get creative with whatever space you have. Happy July! Hope youโve had a wonderful long weekend ๐
