First veggies!

We got our first vegetables out of the garden this week!  One summer squash and one zucchini.  We ate the zucchini already but have not tried the squash yet.




The tomatoes are doing really well, especially considering how dry it has been.  We have to water a couple of times of week but it looks like it's going to be worth it; there are tons of them on the vine. 



Our bell peppers are only doing so-so.  The plants are still small but they are producing peppers.  We're eager to see how they do.


Finally, here is what the garden as a whole looks like.  The green beans are not doing very well, only a half dozen plants came up, but they do have flowers so we might be a few beans out of them.  The zucchini plant is already big, can you see it here peeking out behind the chives?  And yes, there are quite a few weeds, we were keeping up with them for a couple of weeks, but they are are taking over now.  Guess the brown paper isn't the answer to our weed issues. 



I can' believe how big the tomato plants are already!  If they keep this up they will be trees by the 4th of July.
