June 7, 2011 - Flowering Vegetables

Everything is humming along fine.  We've been without rain for some time now after getting six straight days of it a few weeks back.  We are suppose to have record hear the next two days before breaking Friday.  I'm trying to be proactive and keep the soil good and moist.  Good thing that drip hose is working! 

Cucumber flower.

Cucumbers are looking pretty good!  You can see the crystal apple plants are noticeably smaller than the other cucumbers.  I don't remember there being so much difference between their growth.

 First pepper flower belongs to the banana peppers!

 My peppers are doing OK considering the start they had.  Two of the second round of peppers are flowering. The rest are just catching up.  All of the plants do seem fairly small compared to my parent's plants.
The butternut squash are starting to vine.  It's my first time growing them so I wasn't sure if they'd vine or bush.  I'm glad they're vining because they are a bit close to the zucchini.

 The zucchini and yellow squash are getting bushy fast!

Zucchini and yellow squash are both flowering.

Tomatoes looking good!

All but one of the tomatoes are flowering.  (Not including the one eaten by the deer)

 The watermelon is beginning to vine.

First watermelon flowers.  It's the only one of the twelve....

Beans are looking good, but no flowers yet.
