Yet Another Update

My garden overflowith. In fact, it overflowith so much that I had to take a panorama of it. Ha! The cucumbers (on the right) are a good 6 feet outside the box. Watermelon and cantaloupe are catching up too.


Based on the seed packet, this is a cantaloupe. Based on my knowledge of cantaloupes, this is a watermelon. I'm not sure what's up, but I'm happy to have something. It's about 4 inches tall.


I got my first tomato. This is allegedly a Roma. It also has a nibble out of the top. I assume that's from Mr. Squirrel. I'm glad he at least left it on the plant. There are a couple big slicing tomatoes that are almost ready too.


I have two jalapenos just like this. Luckily, they're pretty close to ready since they're not big peppers anyway. I be they would've tasted great in the chili I made tonight.


I had a lot of green beans and they were delicious. I was told (by someone possibly not too knowledgeable) that they should continue to flower and have more beans all summer long. It's not looking like it's going to go that way. Plus, something is eating the leaves like mad.


And last but not least-- cucumbers. They're a little out of control (as you can tell from the first picture). This is cucumber two through five. They're huge-- 7-8 inches each. There's no way I can eat this many cucumbers. I'm hunting some pickle recipes.


Who's coming over for cucumber salad?!
