We have 2 types of tomatoes growing.. Cherry and Beef Steak. We were sure these were dead because they went yellow for a couple of weeks but came back
The Peas and Beans have been our best growers so far! I can't wait for the peas to be ready to pick as I LOVE fresh from the garden peas.
Josh planted zucchini's and squash as those are his favorites. He's had a few starts but having trouble getting the fruit to keep growing after it is formed from the flower... the little squashies seem to die with a few days of the flower falling off. Any tips will be great as Josh is getting discouraged. But as you can see he has lots of flowers budding out.
Sam planted a ton of carrots but after a mistake happened when they went digging for worms when they went fishing on the fathers day weekend he lost most of his seeds. He has since replanted and loves seeing the few first survivors growing.
We planted 2 types of lettuce for our salads and they are finally starting to look like we can enjoy our first salad soon. YUM!!
We also planted swiss chard. I love these yummy leaves. I also love spinach but we couldn't find any seeds for them so we planted lots of this one to enjoy. Almost getting there too!
The other things we planted are radishes, beets, onions, cucumbers, and corn. The corn is our weird plant that is kinda growing. The few seeds that feel over in the grassy area are growing strong but the ones we planted were the ground was tilled and everything is struggling. it is very interesting and the strong plants in the grass is my last picture for this post. I can't wait to tell you all how yummy it all is.

It all looks so good! You need to get some manure (doesn't really matter what kind) and mix it in the dirt around the failing plants... the corn and the squash need a fair amount of fertilizer to grow correctly, that and lots of water. The reason the ones in the grass are strong is because the grass is feeding them. Also the soil should be loose, if it's too tightly packed they can't grow properly... sometimes a little peat moss or sand helps. Experiment with what you can and next year will be more fabulous than this year. Oh by the way.... you can eat the lettuce pretty much as soon as it gets bigger than 2" high... enjoy!!
Dear Dyanne: Please come plant me a garden. Thanks!
