I know, it’s been a while since I last blogger about my garden. Well… it’s not that amazing really. I didn’t realizes that most people start out with plants, and not seeds, which is why my garden is taking forever. Of course, four of my plants are root plants, and despite the itch I have to pick them, I need to wait. Wait….wait….wait…. boo.
But here is a picture of my current garden:
Pretty, huh? Thanks. We’ve come a long way.
Here is the weird little cucumber that is refusing to grow. Like seriously… it’s been over a week, and he’s still this weird little ball.
I have atleast 3 or 4 good sized beets growing…
And some carrots…
And umm… no yellow squash to speak of….
BUT BY GOLLY, we have zucchini.
Haha, I know it’s only two, but seriously… these things grow OVERNIGHT! I looked yesterday, and there where ZERO Zucchinis (one of these I picked earlier this week). There like, a little 2 inch baby zucchini, but nothing big. Then this morning,
POW!!!
ZUCCHINI POWER!!!!
Yes, it was exactly like that. Here’s hoping a ton of stuff grows while I”m gone. I don’t know how to cut back that giant zucchini plant. Any tips?
PS: These are au naturel, sort of. There was fertilizer in the intitial soil mix, but I have not added anything since that point.

Our zucchinis are groing really good too. They’re hard to see sometimes and grow really fast, next thing you know they are huge.
My husband told me though that it’s better to pick them small, you want them to still be shiny. It seems that if they grow too big get too little white spots all over and loose their shine they get harder and starchy.
Kinnd of the same for cucumbers I think.
I love growing veggies, it’s such a joy.
