Thought I would post this just for fun, Too big not any good. When I planted I wound up with one
Variegated Squash Plant, never had one or seen one, The leaves were two Toned and
the squash is yellow and green.
Anyway they came on like gangbusters but have just about quit producing
So I am digging them up and planting a few more

I've planted tomatoes 3 times so far. All the moisture I guess has them turn yellow and get spots. Peppers are hanging on but not really growing. Green beans, corn, squash, carrots, all looking really good.

Just a little update ----
Since my hand surgery I haven't been able to weed or keep up my garden, looks pretty raggedy . But still getting lots of veggies.
My wife picks veggies usually in the morning and again late in the evening.
We have already been canning tomatoes and tomorrow night we will can again. Made another big batch of Al's pickles last night (3rd time)
Lots of radishes banana & jalapeno peppers, got all my onions pulled and in the garage, still getting lettuce and carrots
Okra is about ready to start picking and the replanted squash plants have squash about 4" long
I also planted Jelly Bean tomatoes (From Seeds) They have blooms all over them so it won't be long
My Wife has been taking veggies to her office and giving them of some of the people in the other offices.
I'll try to post some pics later

Thanks Bear, If it doesn't get just too hot and we have rain it will go all summer.
I usually plant a fall garden, but this year I am going to enlarge it and give it a rest. Gunna make it about 60% bigger is the plan right now

We used to just grow Maters, but Mrs Bear couldn't reach the top ones, and since my operation I don't feel like getting the Step Ladder out every day.
Now we just get them from a couple Buddies of mine. Everybody plants more than they can use.

OK here are a few pics (Used my phone camera) so not the best
Some in the window finishing ripening "Gotta stay ahead of the Birds"
These are ready to go. Those largest ones you see are the size of softballs
After the first squash quit producing, I pulled them up and planted these
You can see some small squash
See what a mess Cucumber vines needs cutting back. Just about to take over the
Bell and Banana Peppers
Not a good pic But if you look close you can see a few Okra
Tomatoes still rocking along

the veggies he can eat. He told me the other day Richard (his brother) planted 2 rows of Tomatoes. I know Richard and his rows are 100 ft. So lots of Maters

Nice pics buddy!
I have no luck with tomatoes. I need to give them another try. Basil and Peppers are working tho... LOL

Very nice, Gary! Not only is my little "garden" a postage stamp compared to your envelope, you're already canning & replanting while my stuff is just coming on...
Your pics remind me of when Dad used to plant rows of tomatoes and Mom jarred them up. Us kids had tomatoes all winter.
