First Veggie


First Veggie
Originally uploaded by Joe Jon!
We planted a garden this spring with corn, zucchini, cantaloupe, squash, watermelon, okra, eggplant, Roma tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. We have seen a few things popping up here and there but were quite surprised to discover this 10" cucumber today. I hate cucumbers, but hopefully Stacie will enjoy it.

This is our very first attempt at a true garden, so we hope to learn a lot from it this year and come back next year armed with a great deal of zeal and knowledge. We also plan to double the size of it.

Veggie Report:

Corn Stalks: One stalk growing well, one iffy, and six failing. (I blame the hail storm from a couple of weeks ago).

Eggplant: Two sprouted so far with several more possible.

Zucchini: Nada so far. Worried.

Okra: Waiting.

Tomatoes: Several budding. Hopeful.

Peppers: A couple growing and thinking they'll be several more. Hopeful.

Cantaloupe: I don't think we were supposed to plant it beside the cucumbers? Nada so far.

Watermelon: Five golf ball sized little melons and potentially 4-5 more so far. Hopeful.

Squash: Three good sized so far with several buds showing.
