Mid-summer garden update

Despite Mukluk digging up half the garden a few weeks ago...

The garden bounced back quite well. The tomatoes quickly outgrew their smaller cages and were small trees themselves. I saw a tutorial on how you should prune your tomatoes, and so, with quite a bit of trepidation, decided to attempt it on my own.

So all in all, despite non-summery weather, and despite canine disasters, our garden is a trooper and is doing quite well. I've been using the basil all summer but am still waiting on the bell peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers - although all of them are almost there.
Soon to be a yellow bell pepper...

Soon to be grape tomatoes

Soon to be delicious cucumbers

My beautiful garden!
I can hardly wait until everything ripens and we can eat of the garden's bounty!
