here are a few pics of the garden.

my garden helper, barney. he supervises my work and gets a few cherry tomatoes as payment for his hard work.




the watermelon growth is amazing! i think it should be ready for picking in (latest) 2 weeks. i just hope no critters damage these before it gets ripe. currently i have about 4 watermelons growing bigger (on 3 plants)




here are the seedlings i planted in the ground last week. they are getting much bigger - at least they are growing in real sets of leaves. i have been thinking about planting some of the pac choi and michihili cabbage that has sprouted, but i think they are still too young yet.


on to some of the tomatoes.

here is some monte carlo tomatoes. nice and green, but no ripe ones yet.




here is a mini tomato. bigger than the cherry tomatoes and they have a look of a big tomato, just on a smaller scale. and they are turning red. i can't wait to try one of these.


my grape/plum tomato i planted from seed. this is the second one to ripen. i picked this today. it is still sitting in my refridgerator as i sit thinking about what to do with it.


here are some bountiful harvest grape tomatoes. i think these are ready to harvest.


i don't know if you can see it in this one, but the 2nd carrot on the left is poking out of the ground. the bunches are getting bigger, indicating the growth of the carrot under the ground, but i don't think they are just ready yet.


here are some green beans growing. they are getting longer!


and here is my harvest for today. 3 cucumbers. im super happy on the productivity of these japanese cucumbers.
