Look at these lovely zucchini! The tomatoes clearly are not ripe yet, but Lily wanted to help pick something too today. While I was busy getting the zucs, she was on the other side of the planters picking the baby 'maters.
The planter has gotten out of control, in the five days we were gone.
Goodness, the aphid population had gone crazy!
I'm happy to report the Ladybugs have been mating and happily eating away at those nasty aphids. These are ladybug pupa that are waiting to break out of their shells as adults.
And the cucumbers are finally starting to produce too. We ate a cucumber this evening, I've never had one quite so sweet!
Even the tomato plants have grown out of control.
With tomatoes this size (that aren't even ripe yet!) the branches are having a very hard time staying upright.
I'm just glad the yard service is too lazy to mow and weed-whack nicely around things or I might be in trouble. ;)

Lovely garden. We actually just planted ours this weekend (we are way behind but hoping to catch up). Our neighbor has a community garden that we rent a plot from and the other plots have been in a while and are huge and over flowing. Good luck with your gardening.
I have veggie envy. :) What gorgeous zuchs and cukes! And those maters have lots of fried green tomato potential. mmmmm.
Fun to come home to an explosion of produce in your own yard, planted by your own two hands! Great job!
