Garden Update-- Beets and the Jungle

 These are the first beets of the year.  They were very good (had them for lunch).
 Here's the jungle.  The tomatos and cucumbers are going crazy.
 These pictures were actually taken after I pruned a bunch of the cucumber runners.

 In the foreground you can see some of the little tomatos I started by seed are taking off.

You can see this thing is so big I have to tie up some of the branches.  
You can also see tons of tomatos on both plants.
 This is the new bed.  First used last year (at least the portion to the left.
On the left is beets.  In the middle is a nice yellow crookneck squash.
On the right are a couple of cucumber plants and some oinions
you can't see.

 This is my little bell pepper, doing quite well.

 Cute little guys about two inches in diameter.
 Nice little white type pickling cucumbers will be ready in a couple of days.
 If you enlarge this one you can see tons of tomatos.
 Yellow crookneck squash blossom.

The French Marigolds are all blooming now.  It smells great.
