It appears that the garden has hit puberty. Growth abounds in our small attempt to feed ourselves.

tomatos

I planted a bunch of different tomatoes, and foolishly didn’t mark down where I planted each variety, so I’m not sure what this is. My guess is some sort of cherry.

white mold

I noticed a couple tomato plants with this white stuff on them. I’m not sure if they’re bugs or mold, but I’m thinking mold. It’s in the first garden bed on the west side of the plant.

1st blackberry july 2006

All along I’ve been wrong about these berries. I thought they were raspberries but after seeing it turn black today, I realized they were blackberries. I should’ve realized from their shape long ago.

cucumbers

Look at all those flowers! Obviously, the cucumbers are doing very well with many small cukes coming along just fine. You can see the first one on the bottom right of the picture.

peppers

The peppers are finally starting to flower and bloom. I’m betting it’s because it’s begginning to get humid out. Only a couple of the plants have flowered. Like the tomatos, I have a bunch of different varities that I neglected to document so I don’t know if these are bell peppers or hot peppers.

mellons

I’m very pleased the melons have flowered. Thus far, I’ve only seen two but it appears as if there are more buds getting ready to open. I have no idea what kind of melon this is (the package didn’t say) so yet another surprise coming!

bush beans

The bush beans continue to do well. Depending on what’s for dinner tonight, I’m going to be picking a bunch. They are so juicy and fresh, full of flavor and life. When I eat one I can feel its magic working through my body. They are, however, a little fuzzy. And we know how I feel about fuzzy food.

pink mold

Some pinkish mold has taken residence on the soil between the pumpkins and eggplants.

    Oh your garden is beautiful. It wont be long, and you will have lots of cukes. I dont know what is inbetween your pumpkins. Is it causing any harm? Great photos!

    Candy,

    Thanks for stopping by. How did you find this site (I always wonder the path people take on the web)?

    The pumpkins are flowering beautifully, however, the flowers are falling off and not producing any vegetable. I don’t know if the mold has anything to do with it or not, but the tomatos that are planted right next to the pumpkins seem to be fine.
