Pumpkins were the long shot for the 2002 season. Since the space was available, I figured some pumpkin sprawl on the lower
garden site would be fun. They started ok, then the weather got cold with whipping wind, and then a sudden heat spike. I didn't
water correctly and the vines shriveled up while I was at work. We were left with 3 premature pumpkins that gradually turned
bright orange.
Purple Allysum covered the lower garden floor and was stunning with the bright yellow sunflowers.
Sadly,
no photo. It was a spectacular sight from our cottage windows.
New Photo for August 2003 is below. What a relief... the sunflowers are back!

The Pea sprouts never made it in the garden. I am guessing I transplanted too late and their growth was stunted.
I will plant seeds directly into the ground on Labor Day weekend for a winter crop.

After all,
the snap peas didn't do very well this year. I will try growing some by the strawberries
for a winter crop.
The tomatoes are bountiful, even though they look dead. The plump red fruits are easier to find with all
the foliage dying back.
