I've been wanting to update you on my garden for some time now. I am just a little embarrassed about the condition of it. Danita and I had been weeding it for what seemed like every night of our life and it was looking pretty good. Then it rained every evening this week, and was HOT HOT HOT! So the weeds have kinda gotten away from me. Please don't judge my gardening skills before you remember the following:
1. It rained every day last week
2. My house is under construction
3. This was a patch of grass 3 months ago.
Here is the corn. We are using the no till method.
OH Hey Dixie :)
Squash. These guys are huge.
Peas. Never done these befoer, so I'm not sure what they should look like, but I did see one was flowering last night so I think we are good.
Cucumbers. We planted two types, and one came up good, one didn't. Then I replanted the one that didn't and it looks awesome now. There was one little pickle on there this week!
Cabbage - coming along nicely. Something was eating them, but I think I got it under control now.
Tomatoes! We bought these really small plants at this little greenhouse in Alfordsville. And now they are huge! So big they keep tipping over their cages. We are going to have a bumper crop this year. I can't wait to try to make tomato juice.
Marigolds. For some reason, these things grow like crazy. Maybe its all the miracle grow I keep putting on the garden.
And here's my eggplant. So amazing. I was so happy to see these little guys. I can't wait for Danita to teach me how to make Eggplant Parm :)
Thats all for tonight friends. Hopefully we can work on the weeds this week, but the weather is saying its going to be high 90's all week......I just love S.Indiana :)

Your garden looks great! I'm so jealous of all the yummy stuff you'll be eating! I joined a farm co-op last year and the farmer kept sending me eggplant after eggplant and I got tired of dredging it for parmesan style. If you get overloaded on eggplants - I have a great recipe from the Barefoot Contessa you might like! I'll see if I can send it to you on facebook.
