Late May in the Garden

Late May in the garden is:

Everything running rampantly green...

 I now understand the "growing like a bean stalk" metaphor. These guys are taking off up the trellis! On the right hand side of this picture you can see the delicata squash I've got started in the middle of the patch.

Hunting for cabbage worms...

In my kale, broccoli and cabbage plants. I'm spraying, but also picking off worms by hand.

Successfully growing something I've never grown before!

My sugar snap peas are just about as tall as I am and FULL of little white blossoms.
The snow peas are a dwarf variety, so they're not as tall, but also producing blossoms well.

This greens patch is about to get mostly eaten up in salads this week, to make more room for that cucumber plant in the top left. I did that on purpose! I have more lettuce and spinach coming up in a different patch.

The zucchini plant is also expanding nicely. It's in the middle of the sugar snap pea trellis. When they're done a few weeks I'll pull them out and let the zucchini get nice and big.

I have a hard time getting a great shot of the whole garden, but I love how GREEN it is! Everything is growing!
