Yet another garden update...

June has been relatively kind to my garden, giving it lots of heat and sun. While my lettuce is totally done and I managed to kill a cilantro plant, all of my other babies are doing quite well.


Look at the size of this pepper! I have only 3 peppers growing now, and this is my monster. I can't wait for them to ripen...


I ripped out my wilting lettuce and planted these voracious-looking peppermint plants-- they seem to be adjusting well. Mojitos at my place soon, everyone!


Herb garden... hey, does anyone know if my sprouted purple basil on the left is still okay to eat? I know sprouted lettuce is no good...


Look at these love apples! Each of my tomato plants have 6-7 fruits on them now-- I just can't wait to sink my teeth into them!


I had to re-pot the tomato plants; they had totally grown out of their little containers. Many thanks to Weas for container size suggestions. They seem to be adjusting well to their new homes, grateful for lots of root space!


The bike trellis is awesome-- note the out of control morning glories growing out of the left container. My cucumbers, however, are not so great. (That's them on the ground, center stage) Anybody have any ideas on how to revive them? They produced a ton of flowers, but most have them have fallen off and the leaves are wilting. I've moved them out of full sun, but... a bigger container? A magic spell? Help!


My wildflowers are still seedlings-- they aren't growing really fast. But I guess that's a good thing and I can look forward to late summer blooms!

And the growing continues.... I can't wait to taste the fruit of my labor!
