With all the rain we’ve been having, the weeds have gone nuts in my garden. I just spent about an hour pulling out spent broccoli plants and weeding. I forgot to wear a sweat band AND forgot to spray myself for mosquitoes, so came in hot, tired, wiping my forehead while grabbing a cold bottle of water, and scratching bites…
If you’ll look carefully, in the center of the picture is a cute little zucchini! My first! I’ll have to read up on what to do, but I’m excited. :0)
The main part of this photo is a celery plant, grown from a stalk I bought at the store. I’ll continue to try to grow some. I’m not sure when, but I’m supposed to bind the little stalks tightly together so they look more like what you buy in the store. More reading!
More zucchini vines and blossoms. They will soon take over the boxes.
Technically, it’s too warm for spinach, but I’m still hoping.
My husband wanted me to try cantaloupe. Since we both love it, I was happy to accommodate him…
This gives you a better idea of how LARGE these zucchini plants are!
I guess the hard rains we’ve had did a number on many of the green parts of my sweet red onions. I only weeded a small amount of the box these are planted in, but it looks like the actual onions are okay. I’ll work on it some more tomorrow.
I’ll also see if I can share pictures of our tomato plants tomorrow.

Nice vegetables, I bought a few tomato plants, a green pepper, and a cucumber this year. I never really tried to grow vegetables before, so it will be interesting.
