Looking back and seeing things grow

You know it has been awhile since I updated my garden stuff but I have been keeping up on the calendar so I could write here. It has been so absolutely crazy busy I think I could cry! But that isn't what I write about here. :-)

As I write about the end of May having just been to the garden today (6/24/2010) and I look at these pictures, it is just amazing to me to see how things grow and change. Wow! And who said God wasn't the Great Creator?!

5/21/2010 - Things are taking off and I am starting to see blooms, blossoms and the beginning of fruits/veggies.

Here is a Beefsteak Tomato plant - see the little tomatoes?

Ugh! Too much lettuce! At this point I am getting tired of lettuce and it wilts so fast to pass it along to someone else.


Here are some pictures of my peppers - green and red. My Jalapenos didn't make it. I think it is because I had planted carrots that I didn't think were ever going to come up. So I planted the jalapenos over the carrots. Then the carrots decided to make an appearance. My jalapenos died. WAH!

See where there are carrots mixed with my jalapeno? Not good. And I am not savvy or quick enough to think to transplant. Well, I am now. :-)




See the little Poblano pepper? Woot! But I came back a few days later and someone or something took or ate it! Not happy! :-( WAH!

Here is some okra - so little!



And there are cucumbers...I have planted slicing and pickling cucumbers. Two of each.



And of course we have plenty of tomatoes - Rutgers, Beefsteak, Brandywine (from seed), Cherry and Romas.



Some summer squash and sprouts of baby zucchini and patty pan squash:



And finally here are some of my daughter's sunflower sprouts




Well, that is what I have for this day, stay tuned for more!
