The tomatoes are out of control. The photo below was taken before I spent some time cleaning them up a bit. Compare it to the one I posted previously to see what I mean. The cherry tomatoes are exceptionally hardy and have reached 6' tall. Although I've since pulled them back and tied 'em into the bamboo trellis I built, they were lying across all of the other ones forcing them down to the ground.
 The sunflowers are nice, although I've had to add some bamboo to keep them upright. We had a bit of a storm last night.
Other than that, we have various peppers coming in (jalapenos, green, yellow, red), as well as yellow squash and green beans. The beans seemed to have been ravaged by something, as well as one of the pepper plants. The broccoli was pretty much a bust, althogh I've been told I can try again with another planting in August. the brussels sprouts are in, but apparently won't be 'sprouting' until the fall.
The zucchini hasn't produced much, if anything, although I can't say that with any real certainty. We were away for two weeks and I asked both the petsitter and a local friend to harvest anything that looked ready. I haven't talked to them about it, so maybe they took some zuc's already.
And yeah, I've picked up the gate. Got to get that fixed soon, Sarah's walking all over the place. |
