Our garden this month experienced two nights of frost and a couple of days of 90 degree heat. With the extreme temperatures, our garden has survived. Thankfully, I did not kill it. 🙂
I have pruned lots of leaves that dried or froze, but overall the garden is growing.
Strawberries
We lost one more strawberry to a bird’s snack, but our strawberry plants are rebounding from the cold and heat. Though no more berries at this time, the leaves are healthy and the plants are growing.
Tomatoes
One of our tomato plants is producing four cherry tomatoes. They are green and perfectly round.

Overall Progress
We started with a few plants, harvested our strawberries last month, and watched our tomatoes grow this month.

Though I have forgotten to water a few days here and there, our garden has been very forgiving and continues to bless us with outdoor activity, topics of conversation, and beauty. In using time wisely, I enjoy spending time tending our garden while watching the changes to our fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Happy tending!
