Garden update! 06/30/2015

With summer fully upon us here in Arizona, I've decided to go ahead and let the outdoor garden rest for the season. The squash and zucchini plants had given me lots and lots of fruit, and were on their last legs anyway. Dumping loads of water onto plants that don't provide much feels irresponsible, so I try not to do it. But that doesn't mean I'm not still gardening!

Indoors I'm growing tomatoes and cucumbers. There's on black cherry tomato with two ponderosa reds. Next to those are two lemon cucumbers. These are plants that I couldn't grow outside for the life of me, so I'm really excited to have them growing inside. Male flowers just started opening up on the cucumbers, and the tomatoes are also starting to bloom. Plus, bonus, it makes my office smell like tomato plants! Love it!

(Note about photo quality - I just replaced the MH bulbs with HPS bulbs... I'm still learning how to take photos under HPS so please be kind. I promise I'll get the technique nailed down ASAP! I've also color corrected the photos, so they're not all orange!)

This is the true color of the lights... washes out all of the color and makes everything look orange and yellow.... your eyes even try to compensate for it, and when you walk away everything will look blue!
Black cherry tomato flower... love how wide it opens up, like it's excited to be alive!
