Garlic

Nothing really to report here. The garlic is growing (as is the potted garlic). At some point, I'm gonna have to sit down and figure out what to do with it when it is ready to harvest. But, not today...

Onions

The onions were kind of an afterthought. The plot where they are growing was originally dedicated to Basil. I thought that was dead (It has proven me wrong, in hindsight). Anyway, I planted the tiny onions, having gotten them on sale of course, not really expecting too much. In hindsight, that was stupid. They are growing well and sprouting up in the hurry. What you see here is the early growth. They are rather impressive.

Cucumbers

I have to say, I had my doubts when I started with Cucumbers. Originally, I thought they were gonna consume the garden. I must say that, since putting them in the garden, they have become some of my favorite plants to observe because of noticeable growth.

The first two pictures are White Wonder Cucumbers. I didn’t buy them, directly. When I got the plants from Burpee.com, they threw in a seed package of White Wonders. They are a vining cucumber so I’m gonna leave them in the pots. They do look a bit scraggly now, but the others did at one point too. I have faith they’ll come around.

The third picture is a close up of the garden variety. These are Bush Cucumbers which will grow vertically if properly supported. I put a stake near each one in the garden. They are all really growing well. I gave some to Oscar next door (the bottom picture shows what they looked like). We’ll see how much success he has. I’d give them about 45 days and we’ll have some fruit growing there.

Update

I've got some pictures here from previous update posts.

My peas have flowers. This is the first one which I took a week ago. Since taking them, more and more of them have developed flowers. They are also creeping up the fence and starting to develop pods. I could be up to my eyes in peas later, but that is a risk I’m willing to take.

This is a Morning Glory. It has vined its way up beyond the dowel. I’ve since had to jerry-rig a way to connect two dowels. What is peculiar is that the package of seeds said the plants would get to 3 feet. Various websites I’m finding about M.G.s suggests they can grow up to 8 feet! I’m not sure what I’m gonna do if they get taller than me.

A survey shot of the beans. No major growth here, but they sure look prolific.

Apologies

Sorry for the delay in writing my loyal readers. But with the weather over the last 10 days, it has been crazy.
