State of the Garden

The garden overall is doing well. Each tomato plant in my garden is a different variety and each one has a very different growth pattern. Amazing what adaptation can do considering these are all the same plant.

I saw some tiny toothpick sized beans yesterday, so we will have green beans soon. I am not sure if these are one time harvest or multiple. I guess we will find out.

The big winner are the basil plants. They are now larger than the bell peppers and dont look like they will slow down. I've been pinching off the flowers. Someone told me that they should never be allowed to bloom.

I started my harvest log. Already I have taken a pound of squash from the garden and about $5 worth of basil. I will structure the log so I can track the week when they are taken, how many, weight and any special notes.
