Garden

Above you see my Zucchini plant. It is huge. Those leaves are unbelievable. Needless to say I am already giving zucchini away. Not a lot of yellow squash yet but it is blooming beautifully. This is my baby pumpkin, It just grew on the vine a day or two ago and it is growing Fast.
My corn patch, It really is deceiving, the center stalks are about four feet tall, the stalks on the end are much shorter. I am sure they get less water.
The shorter plants in the corn row are beans. I had a few seed left over and decided to plant them in that space, which was empty at the time.
Some of the corn was slow in coming up. I know now it was not getting as much water, enough water but not as much as the center of the row.
But isn't the garden beautiful. That is from David tilling it, and I crawl around and pull weeds by the plants. Really not a lot of work but so worth it. If I pull a weed when I see it, I don't have so much to do at one time.
I love a clean garden.
To the right of the corn patch are my black eye peas, and green beans.
We left wide middles so we could easily keep it tilled. Some of the middles are five feet wide. That was my fault, I tried to plan my garden for the vining plants. I think I over thought the process.
