The garden I planted in my flower bed is thriving so far.
The Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes had a slow start and I began to wonder if they would ever really grow, but now they're putting on new growth and even have a few little green tomatoes on them.
I was late planting Summer Straightneck yellow squash, but it's coming up so maybe I'll get a few meals out of the five hills I planted. The Straight 8 cucumbers were slow starting, too, but they are beginning to take off now.
I also planted Anaheim Chili and Sweet Banana peppers, which are steadily growing, beginning to bloom, and have tiny baby peppers beginning to show up on them. The Better Boy tomatoes are doing great! I am going to have to add something to the support structure for them as it looks like they are going to outgrow it!
Of course, the green onions I have poked into the soil here and there are doing well and we've had them with several meals already. I plant a number of them every few days so that we can have a steady supply.
My biggest disappointments have been the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce (a loose leaf variety) and the Romaine. The Simpson germinated but never did anything else. The Romaine has been very slow and now looks like it's going to bolt (take off and bloom).
Have any of you planted a garden this year? It's still not too late!
