Garden Update

The backyard garden is rolling along nicely. We have already enjoyed a couple of English Cucumbers and used some of the cilantro and basil in salsa and salads. There are a couple of zucchini that are ready to pick now too. The tomatos, now taller than their 5' cages, dominate their half herb garden. A few of the Cascade cherry tomatoes are showing enough color that they'll be ready to pick by Friday. There are a couple of zucchini that are ready to pick too. Some of the other squash plants have been a little slow to start and the peppers are still a little small although most of them are showing fruit.

The corn is 4' now with many plants showing tassels and a couple showing their first ears. The runner beans are also growing rapidly and a couple of plants have already reached the top of the 7' trellis.

Above is a picture of the garden the day we planted and below is a pic I took this morning. Looking good for 2 months. Back in Denver we would have planted just last weekend - Fathers Day is the traditional date to absolutely avoid a freeze.
