June 16, 2014 - A Mid-June Garden Update

Black Krims are looking larger than last year already.

Indigo Rose are incredibly purple.

The Polverini tomatoes are getting larger.  The one on the left is the first one I noticed and is the furthest along.  All three plants are full green tomatoes. Some fruit are much more wrinkled than others.

The mystery pepper now has large enough fruit to try and identify.  I'm more confident that it is an Aleppo pepper after all.

The beans are just about ready to flower.  The pole beans are over the 8' fence 

Dozens of little cucumbers are forming.

The squash plants have now grown out of the beds.  Dozens of fruits are a just a week or two away from being picked.

The radishes on the left went to seed. I picked them and they were tiny. The eggplant are getting eaten by the flea beetles, but not to the degree where they are stunted.  It is something to keep an eye on, but they are not nearly as many of them as in previous years.

All the tomatoes are looking good. It's hard to keep up with all the suckers though.  I need to get out there every other day to keep them trim.

The Polverini Tomatoes are getting big.  

Herbs are getting used.  I'm a fan of the mace - it was a good find.

 Bell peppers are all healthy and large.  Lots of leafy growth, but only a few flowers so far.

All the beans are looking good.  The flower buds have started to grow but are not yet open.

Lots of cucumber flowers and mini fruits. They've grown quite a bit in the last week.

The hot peppers are all doing good too.  Two of the plants are so much larger than the rest: The Hades Hot and the Shishito peppers are almost twice the size of the other two and are much more bushy.
