Garden Update

Blogger is giving me trouble with picture uploading, so I apologize that some of these are sideways. But I wanted to document my garden progress. I cannot stay out of the garden and am loving every minute of it. It's great exercise digging, weeding, and generally taking care of everything. It is still a work in progress which I kind of hope never changes. I cannot wait to eat fresh veggies, and it looks like we're getting close

Here's the whole plot 3 weeks ago then again about a week ago

Sugar Snap Peas 2 weeks ago then last night (tilt your head to the right for this next one):

Jalapenos - see the two tiny peppers? The larger one is about 1 1/2 inches long so far: Cucumbers - we have about 12 blossoms and tiny cukes. Yum!

Okay, now tilt your head to the left to see my creepers (pumpkin in the back, watermelon in the middle, then squash - both yellow and zucchini - in the front). The top is 3 weeks ago, the bottom is now:Last - banana peppers. Can you see all of the ants on the blossoms? Ugh! I tried a home remedy last night, and they are all completely gone this morning. Mix 1/2 cup veg. oil, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tsp liquid dish soap in a squirt bottle, and spray the plant 1-2 times per week.
