if you park your car near me..you better lock your doors unless you want me to sneak some veggies in there when you aren't looking!!
He's always sending home with me bags of lettuce I don't even want, cucumbers coming out of our ears.
And get this, it's just two little vegetable patchs about 3 feet wide and 9 feet long each. That's a lot of produce in a small amount of space.

Oh yes, its amazing what produce you can get from a very small area. Actually, you can get a ton of stuff out of potted veggie plants.
I can't believe how tall my corn is either...now to top that...it already has ears on them and they are silking out! Mother Nature sure has been good to us this year!

Wow! I cannot believe you already have green tomatoes that big!
Our pepper and tomato plants are still pretty small, but they are starting to bloom. We have some hot peppers about 1/4-inch (if that! LOL!) long.
Our corn is probably about 6 inches tall. It didn't come up very good.
We planted our seeds, then it rained (FLOODED in the valleys but we're on a mountain) and I guess it washed most of our seeds out and the crows ate them. OR we had a lot of rain there for a while, the seeds could've rotted. We never got any cukes to grow.
I do have some gourds and squash planted that are growing...some were edible, but I don't know who is where! We have watermelons (plants) growing, too.
I never have pumpkins. I usually forget to plant them until it's too late, but I planted them this year. I don't think any of them came up. They were some of the ones we planted before it rained like crazy. I had 2 about 8 inches diameter last year, but they were late and didn't make it. :( Maybe some of those "viney" plants and gourds I have will turn out to be my pumpkins that just got washed down further in the garden. OUr garden is not level, so it's possible.

Geeez!! What a fantastic garden...and here I was proud that my tomatoes are starting to get blooms and my greens are peeking through the soil. LOL That's what I get for getting a late start though. Heck, I still have to put my sugar peas out, would let them slide this year but promised the girls they could help me make a string trellis for them to grow on.
Your garden ROCKS!!
