Garden Update
Things have been so busy lately that I haven't had the chance to post about the garden lately.
Things have, as I am sure you can guess, gotten very exciting in the last two months, growth wise. There are some rules that we have learned, and will try to apply better next year. For one, we cramped WAY TOO MUCH stuff into too small an area. The Cucumbers are trying to take over, and we have resorted to interesting techniques to get them to play nicely. We poled one of the plants, and tied it p so that it would grow vertically, but the other two have joined hands, and now have this bridge running between them. But we also have lots of little cucumbers growing, so that is good. The Zucchini have gotten pretty wild, too. The spinach is a lost cause, we just couldn't keep the weeds out and we lost it.
The first cucumber on the vine
Some cherry tomatoes
Full size tomatoes
First fruits! Two good size cucumbers that were ready to pick last night!
And our first zucchini is ready so I am going to go get that one now, actually.
