At last, the new yellow squash plant has recovered from the groundhog/woodchuck attack. Plenty of new growth has popped up. There are even a few teeny, tiny yellow squash starting to form. We are not sure where the rodent went...perhaps the help from the neighbor to plug some groundhog-sized holes in the rock wall with bricks has helped (or it was the concoction Ms. K. devised that prevented the creature from returning).
Earlier this year, when I cut back one of the tomato plants, I buried the stem deep in the ground as an experiment. How this experiment has turned out... the plant is doing very well, setting nice-sized fruits (this one is costoluto genovese)
As the end of August is upon us, the rest of the garden is doing well. Ample chard and kale, plenty of tomatoes, potatoes, and did I mention chard? The tomatoes are ripening by the bucket load. More on what to do with those, later...
