Zucchini!

Another warm weather crop is zucchini.



I planted these guys ages ago, and they have just kept getting bigger. Slowly at first, then much quicker lately. They are ready to go outside, but it has been cold this week, so I have kept them in.

Hopefully they can withstand the change when they do go outside.

More tomatoes

My largest tomato plant got so big it needed to be staked, even though the variety isn't supposed to need staking!

They have been kind of stagnant because of the cold weather and general lack of sunshine, but as soon as it got sunny today, the plant exploded!




In this photo there are several tomatoes planted at different times, and there are also several pepper plants.

This weekend should be great since the weather is supposed to warm up.

It was like a Thanksgiving feast!!!

Well, that's exaggeration. Gross hyperbole if you will.

Anyways, I picked and ate two radishes.




I left some dirt on them so you know they aren't fakes.
I don't like radishes, and they were very small.

I know they were premature, but considering the high likelihood that my dogs will soon ruin them, and considering also that I really have been working hard on this garden with very limited success, I needed to pick and eat something.

Radishes were ready, radishes got eaten. Yum.

Cabbage, Dogs - Dogs, Cabbage

You can probably guess from the title.

Of course the dogs ate all my cabbage plants.








Rest in Peace little Cabbage.



This is very frustrating, as cabbage was one of the few thriving crops so far. At least they left me one plant, and I have more inside as seedlings. I should still be able to get some cabbage.
