Susan's in the Garden

ATTENTION! If you’re on my Blog page and see this “Note from Susan,” scroll below it for access to all my posts… and there are LOTS! (Technical difficulties.)

July 23, 2026 _ Hi, everybody! It continues to be very hot and smoky here in Spokane, Washington. I’m happy to say that our veggie garden is doing well, as you can see by this photo of one of our ‘Autumn Frost’ winter squash.

I shot this week’s video in early morning, when it was a bit cooler and less smoky. Here’s a link to my video, in which you’ll get to see how everything’s growing: July Vegetable Garden Tour. I hope you’ll enjoy the tips and insights.

Remember to visit the Grow Vegetables section that I created for my website. It is absolutely packed with useful information and tips on all of the most commonly grown crops. Click on the link, above or look for it in the menu bar on any page.

Be sure to check out my Amazon store for the gardening products I use and recommend so you’ll have a great garden season. The 3 books I’ve written are in there, under the “Susan’s Books” category. I receive a small commission but that won’t impact the price you pay.
