Lo and Behold

Despite the very wet June, things are growing in the garden.

Swiss Chard {which is so delicious}  A few little bugs on the underside of the leaves, but otherwise
Swiss Chard = success!

 

Lettuce {Mesclun - which is mixture of salad greens} - It's so small because it just took the place of the radishes we harvested. 
Radishes = success!

Peas {which you can see in the background of the Swiss Chard and lettuce} One of the goats reached right over the fence and ate a mouthful.  
Peas = Next time - plant in the middle. 

Cucumbers {with lemon balm at the head of the row as a companion}

Beets
We love beets and I have not had success with them in the past.  At my last attempt a friend advised me to thin them.  I may have thinned them too much? 

Zucchini 

Pumpkins
We use a lot of pumpkin puree especially in the fall.  We love pumpkin granola and pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin bread.  Even though I wanted pumpkins, I wasn't sure I wanted it in the garden fighting for space with the summer squash.  We planted them anyway - as a "let's see what happens" lesson.   I am excited as we have a plan next year for a pumpkin patch just outside the garden, which will free up lots of space to grow other things.

Weeds
I grow these really well.  *wink*

So how does your garden grow?
