acne fashion: Garden Update

My two year old standing in the green bean patch. We got
5 quarts with our first picking!

I have been busy lately and haven't blogged for awhile. I wanted to take a moment to let my gardening friends see the gardening progress. Isn't this year incredible so far?
I started the garden about a month earlier than normal due to the warm weather and prayed we wouldn't get a late frost. So far my early start has paid off. The garden looks more like a late June garden!

We have been harvesting and freezing Swiss chard and spinach.

We've had fresh lettuce and cilantro for some time now. The tomatoes have set fruit and are growing bigger each day. The winter squash is spreading all over "visiting" and sometimes trying to strangle it's neighbors. We've picked 8 zucchini so far and many more are formed on the plants. The most exciting harvest so far is the huge amount of green beans we had for our first picking!

You can probably how closely I've planted in the photos. I've talked about plot planting and this is what it looks like!

I've been really lucky so far with the bugs. I won't jinx it by going into detail but suffice it to say that there are more ladybugs than others at this point.

I'd love to hear how your garden is growing!
