Garden 2010--Chapter 10

Every other week seems to be good enough to chronicle the garden now that the heat of summer is upon us.  Here is the image taken from the same place as the previous shots:

As you can tell, everything is growing like crazy!  I put up two quarts of frozen cucumbers this morning and picked about two quarts of green beans.  The lettuce has not bolted and the kale is still fantastic (this is the kale I planted last November!).  We are finally getting squashes (zucchini, crookneck and straight yellow), and even the beets are looking good.  While the tomatoes are not turning red yet (now baseball size!) it looks like we will have enough to feed everyone in the neighborhood (and they are nearly seven feet tall).  Only a few peppers have set, but all of the bushes look healthy.  My "potted plant" garden is also doing well except for the radishes (I just can't grow radishes).  It looks like excellent candidates for clay pot gardening are Swiss chard, leeks, lettuce, spinach and onions.  We are definitely moving into a "eating out of the garden" mode here!
