This post is not chronological with the others; that is, these px were taken randomly all last week. Some were before the rain, and some were after.
This was Tuesday night when we had a crew helping pull weeds, hoe, rototill, and plant more beans.
Overview of tomatoes in foreground, and beans, onions, and potatoes in the background. Melons just peeking out from bottom corner.
Note to self: allow much more area for zucchini, watermelon, cucumbers, and pumpkins. Since we've been watering, and left the sprinkler on overnight one time (oops), things are growing nicely. I've no idea why we planted things this close together though. We have acres to use.
Case in point: this poor pepper plant is bravely thriving in spite of being almost completely surrounded by melon vines.
After we used Miracle-Gro on the tomatoes, they took off like crazy. And it's not all foliage; there are plenty of little green tomatoes hiding everywhere.
Pumpkin.
Remaining potato in a barrel. One flower is barely blossoming so I have high hopes that there will be potatoes in this barrel. Time will tell. Also another pumpkin vine.
Same pumpkin vine.
Older green beans to left, newly planted next (seen flooded after Wednesday's rain in a previous post). Beans in middle were planted a week or so ago. Then one row of older beans, then onions.
Onions don't look too great from a distance,
but up close they're looking just fine.
Potatoes benefited greatly from Miracle-Gro as well.
2014 Bartlett pear tree has seven pears (one not visible).
Pumpkins are well pollinated.
Another view of overcrowding.
I planted green, red, yellow, and purple peppers. The purple ones started out purple. Idk which plants are red, yellow, or green; so I've stopped picking them when they get big so they have a chance to change color. There are many though, and they are huge!
Zucchini plant almost hides this pepper.
Same potato barrel, different view.
First ripe tomato!
And another.
Same as above.
I've been picking cherry tomatoes for a week or so... just a few here and there. Dad eats them as fast as I pick them.
And that's about it for now.
