Seems like lots of growth since the last post. Been raining a ton, but also some decent sunny days like today. Lima beans are taller than the stakes now. Tomatoes are getting up there - especially the beefsteak. Harvested some lettuce the other evening and ate for dinner tonight - pretty bitter, not sure why. Cucmbers (see second picture) have gotten large enough that they have fallen over and started acting more like vines, as has watermelon. Blueberries look very close to turning blue! Tomatoes in the front patch don't seem to be growing as well. I am excited to ammend the soil and have better growth next year. I also want to double or triple the size. The maintenance has not been very hard. Its the initial sod-breaking, tilling, planting that is tougher.
