Mid June Report

(Sorry about the blurry pictures.)

Some of the tomato blossoms have turned into tomatoes! If all the tomato plants we have produce tomatoes... well let's just say it's a good thing we are taking a canning class from the NC Cooperative Extension Services in July.  We are looking forward to this class so we can become proficient at canning so we can eat food from TYs garden all year 'round.


We caged two of the mystery plants that we have now decided are cucumbers, and they have taken off.


Mother Nature at work on the cucumbers.


This was another of the mystery plants.  Zucchini?


The sun is throwing "hot spots" in this photo, but the soybean pods are coming in like gangbusters.  Can you see them?


(This one came out a bit blurry too.) A single cucumber ready to pick in a few more days.


Peppers doing well...


and the okra is a forest all of a sudden.


Lima bean pods are coming in.  The pods are getting big, but not big enough to harvest yet.


And our single volunteer Sunflower!  This was another one of the mystery plants and it turned out to be a beautiful sunflower.  The seed must have been in the dirt we bought from Atlantic Landscape because we didn't even have any Sunflower seeds to plant.  Cool!
