We are really surprised at how big the leaves are getting.We need to
go out there and fix the support system. The leaves are getting so big
that they are blocking the sun from the cilantro on the left and the
strawberries on the right. : (
Tomatoes continue to grow. We haven't pulled out any yet because we are waiting for them to turn red.
Close up of tomatoes.
Another close up of tomatoes.
The most surprising thing was the gigantic squash we found buried under all the squash leaves. Check it out!
We went inside and measured it. It was 10 inches long!
A
better view of the cucumber plants- the plants are finally getting big
and all of them are flowering. In this picture, you can see the damage
the squash leaves did to the second strawberry plant. We might replant
it in another location this weekend so it can get more sun.
The
potato vines continue to grow and grab on to the fence. You can also
see how big the tomato plant has gotten to the left side of the potato
vine- they are almost the same height now!
Where are you located? Looks like a nice warm spot! I'm jealous of your tomatoes and squash. I'm in Oregon and I've barely planted out my warm weather crops! =0) Your garden looks really good for a newbie!! I think you have the green thumb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! :D We are located in Texas- we had a really mild winter so it has been warm for awhile now. We are really surprised at the progress we've made so far. :) We are just hoping that we don't screw things up.
DeleteAh Texas! It looks like you folks are doing great so far! I hope you have lots and lots of wonderful harvests this year. I'm jealous of all your warm weather plants that are setting fruit already. We're still harvesting spring veggies in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly. I am sure your plants will continue to do well and give plenty of fruit once the weather warms up in Oregon. :)
DeleteYour garden looks fabulous. It's so exciting when the vegetables start ripening.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phuong! :) It is definitely very exciting.
