The garden seems like it exploded overnight. The squash and zucchini are beginning to take over the front box; the green beans are HUGE; and the tomatoes are loving the newly added trellis. The lettuce is ready to be picked - hopefully we'll have our first homegrown salad tonight - and we've already tasted a couple of our strawberries.
My butter beans and cucumbers are making a come back after the earwigs got to them at first. I had to buy some new cucumbers though since 2 out of the 4 of my original ones died. I picked out a different type this time - a pickling cucumber instead of the usual burpless one. The basil and various peppers are growing steadily, but for some reason my cilantro is struggling. Anyone have any suggestions for the cilantro?
Here is a picture of the garden since yesterday. You'll see that we used bamboo to support the trellises and instead of stringing our own trellis, I just bought an already-made one here. It's cheap and saved us a ton of time!
