Zuchini growing large plants. Ends of the fruits of some are rotting. So much rain.
Pumpkin- shape looks more like regular pumpkin. Huge fruit, though
Tomatoes are growing well, but the fruits are all green. Adelia said she had a couple reddish tomatoes.

Garlic Harvest Day July 26/09




Far Back Veggie Bed

The cabbage and broccoli are doing well. The cabbage are starting to have pointy heads. I think it is because they are about to bolt.

The broccoli have developed nice side heads. Quite big. I think it is because the first heads were cut quite low. Otherwise they tend to have smaller little heads.
