Between making pesto, peeling tomatoes and picking beans, I have to make some perennial plant moves. Some did not meet expectations-mostly too short for their location, and need to find a better place in the garden. Hope to get a bit more rain to help make the digging easier, but most of the plants being moved are still small.
We had our first melon, maybe our only, of the season and shared it with some neighbors during Friday happy hour- it was very tasty, and sweet. I was surprised at how good it was. Unfortunately, the two remaining melons are pretty tiny. We will have two good sized butternut squash, but overall the melon and squash growing experience was disappointing. More compost for next year!
So, I'm hoping these unidentified plants are my jerusalem artichokes. I'll have to look up the leaf shape online since they haven't bloomed. Maybe I've just been growing a weed!
Here are some pics-
