A Garden Update

It absolutely amazes me that the garden was all seed with a couple starter plants approximately two months ago.  The garden is going strong...

Here is a little rundown:
  • The corn should be knee high by Fourth of July... DONE
  • Beans- they have been staked up and we've gotten one harvest already... too bad the bunnies have gotten in and I'm not sure we're going to have many more; we'll see
  • Peas- The bunnies LOVE peas... we've only gotten 2 so far, and I'm not overly confident that peas will be abundant
  • Cukes- OH MY... they are everywhere.  We're getting 3 or 4 every other day
  • Carrots- coming along nicely
  • Beets- been thinned out and coming along nicely
  • Onions- getting nice sized bulbs on them
  • Tomatoes- a bazillion and they are overtaking everything
  • Peppers- even though the tomato plants have dwarfed the peppers, we have a bunch growing and should be ready for picking in the next couple days
  • Herb garden- huge!
And the girls... they LOVE the garden.  Nece loves to help me pick weeds, and goes in there almost daily to check on what we have, and what might be ready to be picked.  She's a pro at beans and cukes!

And a few pics from tonight, for proof!
