Anyway, here's some things that are doing good....
This section is still doing quite well, especially the corn. That cabbage is gonna have to be pulled in about 2 weeks, 'cause it's really getting cramped in this small space. My wacky idea of interplanting has worked well, though! Ha!
Photo below - the beans, squash, okra, and lettuce are still doing great also, and as you can see on the right - the beans are going absolutely bonkers! Man....I hope the little okra seedlings amongst the lettuce get enough sunshine....I'll pull that lettuce this week, so that should open things up a bit.
Here's another shot of the beans/okra/lettuce.
Here's a shot of the carrots and cucumbers. The little cucumber vines have latched onto the trellis, and blooms are everywhere....I even saw a little bumblebee visiting them this morning. Yay!!!
Photo below - The melon box. The vines in the center that have outgrown the rest are sugar bowl - which get to about 20-25 lbs. The others are doing better, and should begin to run in a few days.
Lastly, I'd like to say that some shed building posts will be coming up this week, and I hope you enjoy them.
Take care, and happy gardening!

Everything looks really nice. You have so much foliage growing in there that it is hard to tell one plant from another. I'm hoping my soil gets covered up by plants soon. I'd love to have a tangle of plants in my garden.
Daphne - Yeah, it is getting pretty grown up. But, that's a good thing....
Your garden is really progressing nicely. Interplanting the cabbage was a great idea!
Wow, that corn has really shot up! Are you adding nitrogen to help things along? I bet with the cabbage and corn it's draining nitrogen faster than a jet on afterburners!
Everything does look so amazing. I'm very impressed. You make me want to plant something in my spare spaces.
You really see the Spring has sprung in your garden. Lots of growth. The upside down tomato cages caught my eye. Is there an engineering reasoning behind that?
Looks like you are using your soda bottles for watering? Have you ever used them for cloches as well? They work great for small seedlings. Your garden is so much further ahead than mine, lovin' all the green!!
Dan - thanks. I really need to get the cabbage out of there soon, though.
Sinfonian - yeah, I'm applying more nitrogen than normal to the cabbage and corn. It's almost time to make sauerkraut!
SG - Yeah, things have exploded a bit, thanks to the abundant sunshine of late. The tomato cages will be used to force the squash to grow vertically, but i'll have to help them.
Kelly - Yeah, those bottles are connected to drip spikes, and will allow me to water very slowly. I haven't used them for cloches yet, but have tons of them in storage for just that purpose.
