Garden Update - July 2, 2014

First part of the garlic harvest.  Duganski in the middle and Susanville on the left.   And my first 2 turnips!

The remainder of the Susanville.  I ended up with a little over 50 heads!

The 3 sisters bed

If the potatoes are doing as well underground as they are above, I'm in for a terrific harvest.

Howden pumpkins

Gray Zucchini.  So far the leaves are gray, not exactly what I was expecting...we'll see what the fruit look like.

The pole beans are doing their thang with the corn.

Roses and Peas.  Peas and Roses.
Kale, Collards and Carrots.  As you can see, I've been harvesting and quite enjoying the Kale and Collards.

From back to front... Sunflowers, Boston and Muncher Cukes, Tigger Melons and Ali Baba Watermelons

Oh yeah, baby!  Won't be long now!  Hopefully before the crush of Cucumber beetles takes over.  I've been out plucking them off by hand (the beetles) every evening and so far there has been minimal damage.  But the babies don't hatch for another few weeks.

Cukes. Climbing.

Onions, Minnesota Midget melons and Texas Gold Watermelon

Onions are taking shape nicely!

I'm so proud of these guys...wasn't sure they were even going to make it for a while there.
Tomatoes...mostly Roma and Amish Paste.  The row closest to the fence are the slicers but they have not been doing much.  I guess that 30 minutes less of sunlight has really set them back.  Hoping for a growth spurt!
