What happened between planting and harvesting...a pictorial

Origian garden plan.  Did we stick to it? Not so much.


Week 1
Before anything was planted

Everything is in.



Week 3, still not too many weeds



Wow did everything grow.  So much rain.  Nearly everyday for 2 months.
Week 5



First of the radishes.  They immediately flowered and never got very big.

Not very fond of this lettuce.  Bitter


First of the cucumbers.  Must remember to pull more plants.


This crop produced too many cucumbers.  I gave away many.

Week 5, first real haul from the garden.  
Basil, zucchini, squash, radish tops, and lettuce.  

Week 6





Week 8
First buds on the sunflowers

please let this be the last of the squash and zucchini

Still week 8


first of the cucumbers,  green beans and tomatoes 

Week 11, finally pulled some carrots.  They were tiny.
