When a garden begins to GROW GROW GROW...it's hard to keep up!

(Once again, start from the bottom of the post to follow chronologically)


Our garden was getting a bit out of hand. Too many branches going every which way, covering up other plants and tomatoes lying on the ground! We did some West Philly shopping and found some promising trellising material


Collards part two!


The promise of a squash!




Sandra and the tomato in one shot! We were not expecting it to be ready that day! It turned red while we were at work.

Our CUCUMBER! It is almost ready to be eaten--we're just giving it some extra time to plump up a bit more. I'm still a bit sad that it isn't a zucchini, but all in due time.


Is that your leaf or mine? Everything in our garden has grown so much that the leaves and vines have become intermingled. We have had to guide the squash away from one another--they grow so fast!

BELL PEPPER! This specimen has grown incredibly fast from a dime, to a nickle, to a quarter, to a silver dollar, and is now getting close to picking-size!

We though that we planted zucchini plants...but from the sizse of these blossoms and the resulting vegetable they are, in fact, cucumbers.

Our first batch of (red) tomatoes peak through the massive branches that have developed! What a gem!
