For the first time in 10 days, the high in Portland will be less than 90 degrees. While many Portlanders suffered from the heatwave, it did good things for our garden vegetables.
Three Belle Star tomatoes ripened over the weekend and I will incorporate them into dinner tonight.
Another nightshade, this Czech Black pepper is producing beautiful purple flowers.
Hungarian wax peppers are almost ready to pick.
Our squashes are thriving as well. I picked my first Pattypan summer squash of the season, above.
We have to wait longer to eat our winter squashes. When I planted the vine above, I thought it was a butternut, but the shape and size of the fruit suggests it will grow into a Pink Banana variety.
This football-shaped Blue Hubbard fruit looks much larger each time I visit the garden.
The squash blossoms continue to feed dozens, if not hundreds of bees.
This flower is packed with honeybees.
Yellow-faced bumblebees have crowded into this one. It's good to see our garden benefiting our six-legged friends.
