Garden update 9/10/2013

 Full garden view.  Two zucchini remain.  We get around 5 zucchini per week.  Tomatoes are still producing quite a bit.  Bell peppers are doing good, jalapenos are slowing down, but habaneros are producing a lot of peppers
 A big cicada on our deck



 This year we had a lot of musk melon growing from composted seeds that didn't burn up.  the pill bugs ate up most of them but the ones we could salvage were very good

Garden Update 7/23

 The big vine is a Pumpkin plant.  Potatoes and Strawberries on the left.
 Our new rocked section on the back.  No more mowing around the hose reeler.


 Two pumpkins and a cantelope down below
 I had one of my zucchini plants die this past weekend.  After digging it up there was a white worm inside that had burrowed all through the stalk

 Another larger volunteer cantelope in the main garden.  Must have got them from composting a store bought one.
