More on the garden

After two months of watering and weeding, we saw our first produce this week!  The yellow squash were first up and we have already 3 of them. Delicious!  Most of the plants seem to be doing well and are ready to overwhelm us with vegetables.  We even "found" some cucumber plants that we thought we lost early on from the warm weather in May, but apparently they persisted (or we confused them with the squash?).

Now everything has grown enough that the garden space is getting pretty tight.  Not a bad problem to have!  We go over around 4-5 evenings a week to weed and water, depending on the weather Storms have been helping us out with watering here and there, and special thanks to Jordan for watering for us while we were away.
