My vegetables are just huge this year. My tomatillos are 7 feet tall this year. I never have seen them this tall.

and the tomatillos are to the left. |
The winter squash is moving into the garden path. I have no idea why the plants are so much bigger this year. All I used in my garden is compost and 10-10-10 fertilizer.

The previous two week we were in a drought along with the heat wave and I starting to wonder if I get any winter squashes since the fruit was falling off vines. We finally got rain last weekend and the fruit is now setting.

The weather was cooler this spring which really helped the pea and Brassica. Last year was the first year I tried to grow cauliflower and only ended up two very small heads between 3 to 4 inches. I decided to try one more time and I am glad it did. Friday I will be harvesting two cauliflowers heads that are about 12 inches across. They not the normal white colored heads these are called a Cheddar Hybrid and they are the color of Cheddar cheese.

The cooler weather may have kept the pest bug in control allowing the plant get establish. Whatever the reason I am graceful for the good fortune.
