Squash continued

The squash seedlings that I transplanted from the vegetable box to the old plant bed at the end of March have their first baby squash.



Interestingly, neither the zucchini plants in the box or in the old plant bed have produce any zucchini. They both had blossoms so I'm not sure if there was something wrong with the seeds, a pollination issue or a beginner gardner issue.  The yellow squash plants in the box are hanging in there, however, they are still mildly infected with mildew and aphids so I keep cutting the worst looking leaves off the plants and keep spraying regularly for both issues.


The tomato plant has a bunch of new tomatoes and its first tomato has started to ripen.



I spent a good amount of time after work tonight cutting all of the dead and dying leaves off of all of the vegetable plants.  I'd been avoiding doing that the last two weekends.  I've also been avoiding finishing the supports for the tomatoes and peppers but I'm determined to get those done in the next few days.
