crookneck squash, and a replacement cuke IMG_20180629_150609.jpg
miniature egg plant IMG_20180629_150740.jpg
pepper replants IMG_20180630_143940.jpggarlic is doing good, my pumpkins, butternut squash and watermelons aren't doing so great, but they've improved a lot over the last week, i'll see what they do in the next few weeks IMG_20180630_143947.jpg
tomatoes are finally stating to grow. this spring sucked, rain all day every day for a damn month IMG_20180630_144017.jpg
was about to give up on these cukes, but looks like they're finally doing something IMG_20180630_144029.jpg
strawberries are doing ok, hope they put out another run soon. basil and oregano are slow, but going. the onions don't like that spot i guess, have to find them a sunnier spot next year. IMG_20180630_144228.jpg
this little bush was stunted by the weather, and still is producing a ton of peppers, got another one started, wonder how many i'll get off of a plant thats not stunted all to hell

I found out you need to pick Indian broad beans when they are young and tender. I had taken some up to my little old lady gardening buddy who had gave me the seeds, so I could ask her if they were ready. She wasn't there, so I didn't get to ask her. That was Tuesday, and I didn't get around to picking them until this morning. The wife cooked some with potatoes. They were real good, just the older ones were a good source of fiber.

I saved a few for seeds, but picked everything else.

Messy cuz I haven't run the edger for a while, it's been 90°+ heatwave for a week here, (I'm not going to die just to whack weeds!) ..it's really hurrying the tomates along tho! :mrgreen:20180702_123231.jpg

.. the basil's doing okay now, not enough for a pesto yet but getting there, had a slow start with all the rain this spring 20180702_123212.jpg

man the weather has been awful this year, but it's finally looking better, got my first roma tomato today, the rest are finally perking up and growing, the cucumbers have flowers and little cukes on them, the peppers are perking up, maybe it won't be such a bad year in the garden after all
IMG_20180704_181728.jpg dunno what that leaf is from, just thought it was cool

i did roma tomatoes last year and did really well with them.. had a ton and a half of them.. i didn't find any this year, so obviously not growing any sadly..
the heat has been brutal this summer around here, and been pretty dry the last few weeks.. my one cucumber plant's not looking great, but everything else is looking good.. my first year in a long time doing eggplant as i've never had much luck with them, and holy crap, they seem to be growing great for me.. umm, i watched some stupid video on a garden channel, and dude said to top the pepper plants to get more fruit from them, so i tried his advice.. probably should have waited a bit longer before topping them.. oh well, live and learn, but they seem to be doing good.. got a few cucs and grape tomatoes already..
