I think I posted this on the girl thread, but not here. We got a bit of a late start to our garden so the only thing we really have right now are spinach, lettuces, cilantro, and basil, but the rest of the stuff seems to be coming along well (or as well as I can tell as a first time gardener!!)
I'm really hoping to get some peas before it gets too hot, because they look to be growing well, but I know they don't do well come summer. The cucumbers seem to be growing well, and we are trying to get them to go up our trellis (will post pictures later). The bush beans are also going crazy.
It's pretty ridiculous how crazy the squash and zucchini are with their gigantic leaves. We are trying to stake them and they are still taking over. I'm a little worried the squash is overshadowing the zukes (since I prefer zukes to yellow squash), but it's still fun testing stuff out.
We tried some peppers from seeds inside and they sprouted fine, but we had some trouble transplanting them to the garden, so we ended up giving in and buying some seedlings last weekend. We have jalapenos, mucho nacho jalapenos, gypsy peppers, and red, orange, and yellow bells. LadyDeacToy is really looking forward to those.
Anyone have any experience and/or tips with eggplant or okra? Those are two I don't see often when I'm reading about gardens (we have 2 squares of eggplant and 1 of okra), so I'm curious how that will go.
