Swiss Chard

I thought my swiss chard hadn't grown at all and that the spinach I planted was super weird. But today Jared and I went on a garden tour and a lady had a plant just like mine and she said it wad swiss chard. I then knew that my weird spinach wasn't that weird after all and not all swiss chard has pink/red stalks.

Corn

Today I decided to harvest all the corn and pull it out of the garden. It was hit or miss... mostly miss.
I also picked a yellow squash, a watermelon, 2 cantaloupe, some potatoes, a kohlrabi, some carrots and a bunch of tomatoes.

More Updates

The corn has been falling over. One stalk broke so I harvested the 2 ears on it. One was not formed enough yet and the other was edible but not pretty. We still don't have another cucumber growing on that vine. I've only had a handful of beans from the 3 bushes of beans. I pulled the radishes out to dry and get seeds from it. We have several watermelon growing as well as many cantaloupe. However, one cantaloupe vine just up and died a couple of days ago. :( The onions disappeared completely. Something must have been eating them. So today I decided to plant beets, cauliflower & broccoli in that section of the garden. While planting I did notice that there were some onions still there, they had just had their tops taken. I harvested one yellow squash! And here's a picture of the one butternut squash that's growing.

Update

Zuchini vines are turning to mush. One cucumber. Many cantaloupe are looking nice. Found a few tomato worms but it's looking like we will get some nice tomatoes. A few nice watermelons are growing too. A couple of ears of corn are growing. Wish there were more. No pumpkins or butternut squash yet, but vines are looking promising.

Harvest

This may not be the most impressive harvest, but it's the most I've harvested in one day.

Kohlrabi

I had never heard of kohlrabi until Gary planted some. The bulb grows above ground and that's the part you eat. I harvested one today. It tastes like a radish without the spiciness. Not bad, but not that good either.
