Growth Spurts

We thinned out the summer squash once true leaves appeared.

Our store bought summer squash has the beginnings of flowers!

I built a tall trellis to train the tomatoes and pole beans. Our tomatoes are indeterminate meaning they will continue growing larger and larger all season long.  We intend to prune them down to 2 main leaders to facilitate bigger and higher quality fruit.  Hopefully the season will last long enough to allow a good number of tomatoes to ripen.

Although Sean despises beets, I couldn't help but plant a few for myself.  Beets get thinned to one plant every 1-2 inches.

As an experiment we planted edamame which is a cultivar of the soybean.

Eggplants are in flower too!
