Now I know that the broccoli officially won the race, but I just can’t leave the rest of my garden out of the fun. Things are looking unbelievably healthy and lush.
All of my tomato plants have bunches of green tomatoes, I just don’t know when the red will start showing through! I hope its soon, my patience for home grown tomatoes is growing a bit weary!
The Patio Tomatoes
Jellybean Tomatoes
And the Roma tomatoes…ah the Romas. They are absolute beasts! I spent an hour tonight re-caging and re-staking them. They’re always outgrowing their support structures!
Marzano Roma Tomatoes
The Tomatillo plants are turning into elm trees…is that normal? I’ve had to put several stakes around them to prop their giant branches up.
Tomatillos
And moving over to the crawlers…
The butternut squash is positioning itself to take over the entire garden. Its spreading in and among the tomatoes and tomatillos, they’ve all but overgrown the eggplant and okra. They are tactical little guys and I have the feeling I’d better watch my back otherwise they might try to steal my car.

The cucumbers have finally been trained to crawl up the trellis, fancy as it is.

The jalapenos are still chugging away:

And then we turn to the zucchini…oh, the zucchini. They are absolutely gigantic! Pretty soon we’ll be up to our eyeballs in zucchini. Got any good zucchini recipes? Send ‘em my way! Enjoy the zucchini photos, and I do apologize in advance for any, um, phallic looking photos. Its just the nature of the beast.

And there’s the mid-June garden update. Our hard work is really paying off in leaps and bounds now!
