Photo: As of Today

How's it looking?

Photos and update

See first photo here. I'll get the current photo this evening hopefully.

The garden is growing good. It needs a good watering and I really need to start thinning out some more of the plants lest the good plants not do as well.

Ok, there's no need to keep recording every time I water the garden; just let it be recorded that I'm watering every 1-2 days. I'm also trying to till / turn the soil about once a week because it gets crusty on top otherwise.

the squash plants are getting huge and I've spotted the first few zuchini squash growing near the base of the plant. They're each about 2-3 inches long right now. My one bell pepper is around 2-3 inches long as well. The basil plants finally took off and my two tomato plants closer to the basil are doing growing great as well. The third tomato plant is struggling, but I gave it some TLC on Monday night by digging out the dirt around it by hand and trying to re-set it a bit.

A few days ago I pulled 4 cucumber plants that were crowding others and not doing as well. The lettuce is starting to grow, but little bugs are feasting on it. The bush bean plants look great, but the bugs kind of like those leaves as well. The other herb plants almost look like they haven't grown a bit, but they're not dying either. The onions have all broken thru the surface with their thin green stems, but I felt the bulbs under the surface and they're not really any bigger than when I planted them. I also finally spotted the garlic that my father-in-law planted in the beds out front - they're doing about the same as the onions.

Oh and I've finally almost got pictures. Hopefully before the weekend and I'll go ahead and post current pictures as well.
