Vegetable garden officially closed

This morning I picked the last of the peppers, pulled the last of the carrots, and then cleared the grow boxes. By the end of June I am more than ready to be done, out of the heat, and watering free.

I was rewarded with one last luscious Old German heirloom tomato.

That one tomato made all the tending worth it. It was so good! Come October I'll be planting again. That's the way it goes in low desert Arizona.

Our winter slid right into May, and our spring is just barely beginning to end now at the start of July! We're just getting our first snap peas, as the strawberries and early season blueberries are coming ripe. We're waffling on whether to start the 'summer' veggies, like tomatoes & cucumbers. It's almost officially time to start planting for fall and winter. Yeesh!
