June 28 pictures

 all these pics were taken on june 28.  This is being written on July 6.

In this pic the beans had not flowered yet but today they have buds all over them.  The surprise climbers are doing great and the smaller Italian ones are doing well but not as well as the others, I am afraid they will suffer in their spot between the surprise climbers and the potatoes, they won't get a lot of sun there, hopefully they will get enough to make a good batch of seeds for next year.  

Yesterday I picked a small green tomato and two 3" zucchini, fried them and oh!!! yummmm!!! What a treat.  I usually designate one tomato plant to be the one that never, or rarely gets a red one, I eat them all green as they grow, but since I have 8 plants and only 2 are cherries, I will just pick them at random from all the vines.

 Here are the pole beans, they have now reached and gone beyond the top pole which is approximately 7' high.  On the closest pole I have a morning glory vine growing.  If you click on the pic to view it larger you will see it winding it's self around the pole.  It is now up to the top pole.  Just one will be plenty I think lol

 My trellised squash are going to overtake everything close to them LOL.  I love it!  I have started pinching off the growing tips to keep them in bounds, there are enough little squash on the vines to give me a respectable crop.  I am still skeptical about whether or not the trellis will hold all the squash and pumpkins that will be hanging around it.  Time will tell :)  In the foreground you can see a couple of my herbs, sweet annie and borage, I also have sage, stevia, and horehound.

 Bad angle, sorry.  The tomatoes are doing very well,  There are flowers everywhere and lots of little green ones just started.  Lovely :)  Can't wait for the first cherry tomatoes to ripen.

My Huuuuge zucchini plant, I hope it will be more than just giant leaves, this baby is more than 4 feet wide.  There are at least half a dozen little squashes on it now and there are more than that many flowers where there will be more little squashes :)  Fantastic!  I looove zucchini, I doubt there will be much left for me to dehydrate for winter.  I hope I am wrong :)
