Growing, Growing, Growing

Exciting times in the Holmes Family Garden! We will be eating vegetables soon, I think. As you can see from this first photo, most everything has grown quite a bit. The spinach didn't grow very well, but I blame that on the squirrels digging in it and scattering the seeds from the beginning. The onions are doing okay, but are overshadowed by the zucchini leaves. Zucchini has a mind and growing power all its own. It's crazy! Look at the leaves in the second photo. They have overtaken the cucumber plants and the okra plants. Note for next year: Give zucchini it's own space. It's bossy!



Cherry Tomatoes - so cute!

Anyone want a salad for lunch?

Zucchini Flowers

Squash will be ready to pick by week's end

Green Beans

At this point we might have enough for one green bean per person. Not sure how that will all turn out. I've never grown string beans before. And I'm sure you'll be on the edge of your seat to see how it all turns out!
