It is in the shade but hopefully, it will grow out into the sunshine. I can't grow yellow squash or zucchini due to the squash vine borers so I am hoping the tromboncini will do better.<br />Jeannie@GetMeToTheCountryJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-23065941039076269592019-07-07T13:24:15.922-04:002019-07-07T13:24:15.922-04:00It's been a challenging garden year so far, wi...It's been a challenging garden year so far, with late planting due to all the wet, and then it just dried up.

It was quite easy, although a little time consuming to prep the cilantro and parsley. I did buy store bought tzatziki and pita bread to go with it. Along with tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion, it made a delicious hot weather meal. I am anxiously awaiting tomatoes from our garden.<br />And yes, that buggy is beautiful!Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-16370758085261902162019-07-01T08:15:20.773-04:002019-07-01T08:15:20.773-04:00Having the lettuce to harvest is a lovely thing.

I'm thankful that our lettuce, chard and kale are still going strong, thanks to some shade in the garden.<br /><br />Those Japanese beetles are a menace! Glad your hens are taking care of them.<br /><br />Sounds like you got some good deals.<br /><br />Enjoy your week!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.com
