June 17, 2011 - Beach, Progress, and Fruiting Plants

Well the garden survived this years trip to the shore.  Last year there were some visitors that ate all the beans and cucumbers.  It was the beginning of the end for last years crop so I was a little nervous when we came back and first took a look at the garden - especially without the electric fence.

Garden Update:
 The long view of the whole garden.  I'm very pleased at this point!

After a week away the tomatoes have now completely filled their cages.  They are lots of flowers and a few fruits in the way.  Even the unhealthy looking Golden Jubilee plant has fruit.  

The cucumbers are climbing tall.  They're doing so good I'm thinking about thinning them out a bit.  There doesn't seem to be enough room for them all on the trellis!

The peppers all seem to have recovered from their near death experience.  They do seem a bit stunted compared to last year, but they are flowering and getting larger by the day.

I'm second guessing my locating the butternut squash so close to everything the eggplant and trellis plants.  They are getting huge fast.  

 Watermelon patch is getting full.  I wonder what the hell I'm going to do with hundreds of pounds of watermelons!
