Hey Steemit friends,
I did a little work in the garden today and wanted to give you all an update.
My squash plants are actually putting on their fruit, albeit small at this point. I bet I'll be harvesting soon.
Lots of the bush beans (green beans) have germinated.
The indeterminate tomatoes are coming along. I've strung up several that have gotten large enough, and I'll have to keep an eye on them this week, I may need to string them all up shortly.
The cucumbers that I put out as seed have germinated.
Another image of the green beans, and upper left is the determinate roma tomatoes.
The zucchini plants are growing male flowers, so they are doing great so far
I tried some butternut squash seeds and many have germinated
The potatoes plants are going gang-busters
I also put out some spaghetti squash seeds and have some germination going on
The asparagus seems happy that I took away the agribon
Here's a roma tomato
The broccoli is definitely getting bigger, and I spy some of the actual broccoli growing!
I've been harvesting leaves off of the romaine lettuce, and it seems to be doing well
Cauliflower is going strong
The Cabbage Patch is going great, and there's one that might be close to harvest size
Overall, I'm fairly happy with the progress and am definitely excited to be getting some squash and zucchini soon!
