Mutant Garden

Some of you may remember the crazy zucchini we had from our garden from last year. This we've done the garden again but bigger and better!

We always have tomatoes and basil. We again have zucchini, added yellow squash, red leaf and romaine lettuces, red bell and banana peppers, regular and Japanese cucumber and Japanese eggplant. Last year we planted regular eggplant and they were destroyed by these eggplant loving itty bitty beetles. So far the Japanese eggplant looks great with no holey leaves.

The yellow squash. The yellow squash is thriving and we're going to be knee deep in this stuff.

This here is our very first tomato. 
Finally the lettuce and basil (and you can see a pepper plant).
The thing is we've probably only had this garden for about three weeks and we already have baby versions of a lot of the vegetables. It's really unbelievable how quickly we have baby veggies as I didn't expect anything until late July but I think we'll be eating things before the end of June from the garden (obviously some yellow squash).
