What a difference 7 weeks makes...
We knew we planted too much in our garden, but figured that since we don't have terribly green thumbs, probably at least half of our plantings would die, so space wouldn't be an issue. As it turns out, everything is growing, so half of our plants may still die, but it will be because they they don't have any space! We have several tomatoes on the way and are about ready to harvest the wax beans. Our yellow squash, zucchini and cucumber plants are enormous, but aren't actually producing any vegetables yet. The carrots are growing, but are still a month or two away from being ready. We'll see if we actually get any food out of this experiment...
Carter has his eye on the tomatoes... "I'm supposed to be the tallest!"

WOW! That is amazing! Our zucchini is also huge, but not producing fruit, and it's been WAY longer than the seed package indicated it would take. Like, two months longer. Any gardeners have an idea what's up? Bad seeds? Did we mess up?
WOW-I'm impressed! I tried a tomato plant and there are 6 green ones so far - but that'ok - not supposed to be ready until August. Might try something more next year. I do not believe my thumb is green - probably BLACK. Good Luck. Love GrannyB
Looks awesome!
Our garden is also overrun. We can't eat anything fast enough and the zucchini is blotting out the sun on the peppers! There are just tons and tons of zucchini stems but only a few fruit. The cucumbers just put out their first fruits so it'll be a few weeks until harvest. The "spring" onions are getting so big they look like leeks! The tomatoes plants are so humungous we don't know what to do!
well done! i am, yet again, horribly horribly jealous.
