Garden Update

Today we picked the second yellow zucchini, and the first green zucchini, the first 2 cherry tomatoes, a few more grape tomatoes, and an another arm-full of Swiss chard.

The big boy tomatoes are taking their time getting both big, and red.

The onions don't look promising, but the lettuce is the king of the garden, so far.

The snap peas have a few blossoms. We're keeping our expectations low. Pretty sure a rabbit had ravished half of the tops of the plants.
The beans are all flowers, hopefully soon they give-way to something we can eat.
The potato plant has some flowers.
The carrots are getting bushy. (the row that decided to make an appearance)
The melon plant is lush with flowers, but the beans are taking their time.
We'll have late-season spinach (after replanting in the second garden, because the first attempt did not show)
The radishes all look weird when we pick them, but they taste spicy and delicious.
The beets are plugging away...
The kohlrabi that we thought was done for is making a second attempt at growing.
The late-season squashes are in bloom...can't wait to see the first one!

So far we have put in nearly 10 solid hours of weeding this season.

All in all it's been an interesting learning experience.

Next year will only be better...but we're trying to stay focused on this one.
