Squash

I'm still in a major squash learning curve but I'm excited to finally have grown a full grown squash from seed!

The aphids, mildew and blossom rot are still challenging me but it looks like a few more of the smaller fruit may have made it past those stages.

My pepper plant, against the squirrel odds, is still hanging in there.

And the green beans are starting grow again.

The cucumber plants have some new growth but are struggling like the squash.  And the aphids found them again.

The fruit that is growing is oddly shaped.  

I must have had beginners luck last year because I had tons of great cucumbers all spring and into summer.

The grape tomato plant is teasing me with all of its green tomatoes.  I can't wait for them to ripen!

And the better bush has another new small tomato.  I noticed one of the larger tomatoes was starting to crack.

So I picked it and am going to see if it will ripen inside the house.

I'm hopeful that if I keep up with the Dawn solution on the aphids and keep spraying and trimming away the mildewed leaves eventually the plants will get strong enough to produce more produce.
