garden update. 5/23

this stuff is starting to grow like crazy.  


our zucchini has had a couple haircuts, but is starting to churn out the veggies.  



baby zuke.  should be ready to pick in a couple days.



our first harvested zucchini.  grilled this on our new grill last night for dinner.  delicious!



our tomato plants seem to be doing much better since we added the support stakes.  



we have a couple buds that are starting to flower.  tomatoes are coming soon!





watermelon plant seems to be doing ok.  think the zucchini has pretty much killed off all but 2 or 3 of these.




carrots are going strong.  i'm thinking a few more weeks and these should be ready to eat.



again, i think the zucchini has killed most of the beets.  i think we have 2 left that will hopefully make it.



the pepper plant blooming like crazy on top.  the first pepper is probably 5" long now.  starting to mature to yellow stage.  maybe a couple weeks left for this one.



the lemon tree seedling is doing really well, though we won't see fruit for quite some time.



the orange tree seedling is starting to look better.  it was a little touch and go for awhile, but it's looking pretty healthy now.



the comeback award has definitely got to go to the corn.  with the help of some (ok, a LOT) organic pesticide, these guys are starting to look a LOT better.  i think i counted probably 10 baby ears this morning.

the corn is almost as tall as the fence now.  it looks a little rough from the caterpillars, but i think it'll survive.
