As it stands, there are 5 tomato plants, 8 pepper plants, 2 Zucchinis, 1 eggplant and 1 cucumber now in the raised beds. There is also a pony pack of green onions waiting to be put in the ground.
I may have to tap into the third raised bed.

Lots of concerns right now, so I went for a stroll among the tomatoes and peppers.
It's really something how the fragrance of tomato plants in a garden can be therapeutic.

Our garden is coming along, but already having an issue with cut worms. Everything is dusted and smells of Sevin dust at the moment.

I put in green onions this morning.
It is amazing how fast the tomato plants are growing!
I gave them a dusting of diatomaceous earth.

Do the diatoms work better than Sevin? So far I've lost a cucumber plant, the top from 1 tomato, 1 watermelon vine, and 1 snap bean plant.

I can't tell. I dusted the peppers with Sevin today just to hedge my bets.

I thought I was done planting tomatoes this year (5 plants!) But I've got a hankering for Sweet 100s.
They're probably the easiest tomato there is to grow.

My tomato plants are stressed, and I'm not yet sure what's going on. It could be fungus wilt, in which case I don't know what to do about it.

First cucumber, and a small pumpkin from a stray "wild" vine in the compost pile.

I wonder if pumpkins have stalk envy.
