TBT: watching the garden grow

Throwback Thursday!  It's hard to believe the garden ever looked neat and organized.  Scroll through the pictures to see what I mean.  Let's take a look back to April, when outdoor planting began:

Front rows: spinach, back row: sugar snap peas

Cabbage on the right, tomato seedlings in the back left, Brussels sprouts back right

Cucumbers...these did not turn out well, probably because the tomatoes completely blocked their sun after a few weeks



Growing!  Flowering plants are summer squash.  Those grew like weeds.

Woah!  I let it go too long between pictures here...About now we're realizing why cabbage said 3 ft between plants. 

Ok, what is happening here.  There was at least a two month window between this picture and the previous one.  Most of the cabbages have been harvested and we planted jalepeños and bell peppers in their place.  Eggplants went in next to the Brussels sprouts, the snap peas have died but string beans have taken their place, and the summer squash is making a play for the patio.

You can actually see some cherry tomatoes from this picture!  It is also starting to look like a jungle.

We just took out the summer squash last week and tried to trim back the tomatoes and peppers.  
Tune in next week for some plant-level detail!
