It’s been a couple weeks since my last update and I got a request for more pictures, so here you go.

It’s been a very productive couple of weeks.  Nearly everything is in bloom.  I have more lettuce than I know what to do with, even after distributing some to the neighbors.  My corn (I’m told) is farther along than the farmers’.  ”Knee-high by the 4th of July…”, but mine is mid-thigh.  Okay, no more rhyming, I mean it… (anybody?)

I finally got a good number of nice-size radishes.  I noticed a couple weeks ago that a lot of them had red root up above ground level and were pretty much just growing long and skinny.  So I piled more dirt on them and that seemed to do the trick.  They’re all plumping up now.  Live and learn.

I’m really impressed with the tomatoes.  They’re a little bit behind my parents’ (that they bought from a greenhouse), but not a lot.

Here’s the two half-rows of beans:

Full row of carrots with radishes on the left and onions on the right:

Full row of corn:

I really love my wall of peas.  This is two half-rows with the string trellis down the middle:

On the mounds from left to right — squash, zucchini, pumpkin:

Finally, the full row of potatoes:

That’s not everything, I guess I left out the beets, lettuce, cucumbers, and watermelon.  I’ll get those next time.
