Just an update on where things are…<\/p>\n

The first ear of corn was plucked today! \u00a0Patience is never any fun when waiting for the fruit of your garden. \u00a0The cucumbers have done pretty well, we’ve pulled at least a dozen or so of them out. \u00a0Some of them look a little screwy as they were in the corner of the raised bed, so they’re a little bent. \u00a0They do taste good though. \u00a0The blueberry bush is done, we got about 8-10 berries, all the rest went (quite literally) to the birds. \u00a0The butternut squash is getting there, not quite ripe, I have a friend of my mother’s giving me some advice there. \u00a0The tomato vines have significantly slowed down their growth and are fattening up the fruit. \u00a0A few of the cherry tomatoes are just starting to turn, so not much longer for those. \u00a0The others are still waiting, and one of the guys at work said, probably around early July for those. \u00a0Some of the\u00a0sunflowers have a good head on them, the rest aren’t quite there. \u00a0Seeing some progress on the cantaloupes, one’s starting to show the cracked surface. \u00a0Starting to get growth on the pepper plants. \u00a0A few jalapenos and bell peppers are growing. \u00a0The okra is also starting to show some fruit. \u00a0Finally the summer squash plant was destroyed by bugs. \u00a0Beatles appear to have eaten the center out of the main trunk.<\/p>\n

Still trying to deal with the Japanese beetles, they’re quite \u00a0pain and rapidly trying to eat through the okra and basil. \u00a0I have a sudsy jar sitting out there to drown them in, but it’s all by hand.<\/p>\n
