As the Garden Grows ~ June 4, 2010

Take 3

The pace at which this garden is growing amazes me!  I have placed potted marigolds in the garden.  When room gets tight, I'll put them around the garden.  I've been told they help keep the pests/bugs at bay.  Do you think they will help my broccoli?!?!

Cucumber bush next to flowers

Carrots peaking through...

Radishes, which I am harvesting and eating, in front of the pot.

Broccoli with one of the green pepper plants

Tomato plants... Oh, how I love fresh tomatoes!

Replacement yellow squash.  I picked it up free by attending a gardening workshop at Home Depot in Ft. Oglethorpe.

While the family was off camping, the garden exploded.  Check it out!

Zucchini plant...

Tomatoes...

Broccoli....

Carrots...

I will be pulling a radish tomorrow.  I was advised that it may not take the full 4 weeks from seed to harvest.  The radishes have been in the ground for 3 weeks.

Rambling question

I have birthed a tomato and radishes, too.  Does this mean in the very near future I will be eating my young?!?!

My garden grows!

My garden is growing and beginning to produce vegetables!  For many of you, this is no big deal.  But for me, who normally does not have a green thumb, this is truly amazing.  See what else is growing...

Radishes have sprouted...

Carrots are starting to peek through...

(look carefully!)

Zucchini plant is growing.  What is growing up in the middle of the plant?

Green pepper plants are also thriving!

The cucumber bush isn't looking too well.  I picked up a different type and planted it yesterday.  This plant grows on a vine.

Broccoli are growing almost as quickly as the Beefsteak tomatoes!

and the tomatoes plants!
