Once July and August came around things really got rolling. I had more chard then I knew what to do with, and I'm pretty sure my family and friends are still sick of it since at every gathering I brought several "bouquets" of it with me, along with TONS of basil and sage. So lesson learned, an entire bed of chard for one person is WAY too much, and four basil plants is just plain silly unless you own an Italian restaurant. I made pesto almost weekly - until January.

My friend Mark gave me some bell pepper transplants from the school he works at, and those started fruiting as well, I usually got 1-2 a week.

I also harvested lots of carrots, pretty sure my vision will be fine for years to come.

| July 23, 2010 - Carrots! And a curious cat in the background. |
The cat liked to help once I got the veggies inside:

My watermelon also came back from the dead (it had been infested with aphids while I was gone) with a lot of work on my part spraying a water/ivory mixture on the leaves.
